Don’t Reinvent the Wheel: Optical Testing Standards You Can’t Afford to Ignore
Jennifer L. Michels, Redhead Optical Inc.
Abstract
ISO publishes and maintains dozens of optical test methods that can be used for development, quality assurance, product advertising, and for consumers who use optical products tested using these methods. Standards foster consistency and communication within and between organizations. Step up and beat your competition with these standardized methods!
There are roughly 122 ISO documents that outline methods to measure optical characteristics and performance. However, knowing what’s out there and finding the standard you need can be challenging.
Presented by the OEOSC (who have brought you the wildly successful ISO 10110 courses), this talk takes you through an overview of ISO and the testing documents in 10 categories: Materials and coatings, first order properties, radiometric properties, lasers, line of sight, stray light, third order aberrations, image quality/resolution, environmental testing, and miscellaneous. Handouts, with the lists of document titles and numbers, will be provided.
