Computer Generated Holograms (CGHs)
The hologram patterns are custom designed and built into standard configurations for rapid turnaround and ease of use. Standard features enable accurate, traceable measurements of reflective surfaces. Optional features allow measurement of bare glass surfaces and make alignment easy.
Standard Sizes
