Introducing Morpheus: Streamlined CGH Data Processing for Confident Measurements

Feb 26, 2025

When working with complex optical surfaces—freeforms, aspheres, off-axis parabolas, and other conic sections—efficient and accurate metrology is critical. Measurement data reduction is a step in the optical finish process and can be a bottleneck requiring complex processing, manual adjustments, and time-consuming troubleshooting.

Enter Morpheus™, a full-featured CGH data reduction software designed to take the guesswork out of data processing. With just a few clicks, Morpheus processes your measurement data, corrects for test misalignments, and provides clear, visual feedback—so you can move confidently to the next step in your workflow.

Why Use Morpheus for CGH Metrology?

Traditional CGH data reduction can be cumbersome, relying on manual processing or command-line tools that require expertise to interpret. Morpheus software changes the metrology game by providing:

Intuitive UI – No more command-line ambiguity. Easily process, visualize, and validate results in a user-friendly interface.
Automated Misalignment Correction – Remove residual misalignment errors without relying on approximations.
Uncertainty Analysis – Gain insights into expected measurement accuracy, even before making a measurement.
Seamless Integration – Compatible with common interferometry data file formats.

How It Works

Getting started with Morpheus is easy:

  1. Include a .cgh file with your next CGH procurement from AOM, containing all the CGH details and test analyses – the Morpheus software application is included as a free download!
  2. Acquire your measurement data using a CGH test setup.
  3. Process the data instantly in Morpheus with just a few clicks.
  4. Review processing with rich visuals, ensuring confidence in the accuracy of results.
  5. Take processed data directly to polishing correction, saving time and improving efficiency.

With Morpheus, you can streamline your measurement workflow and ensure reliable, repeatable results for even the most complex optics.
