How to modernize a Zygo® MK-2, MK-3 or MK-4 Interferometer:

(1) Remove the old vidicon and diode matrix cameras and replace them by a single modern CCD camera.
A neutral gray filter is required in front of the camera. I don't recommend to make the exposure time too small, because that would freeze the motion of the rotating diffuser disk.
(2) Remove the old 115V transformer and replace it by the ASTRO ELECTRONIC power supply. This board supplies 2x12V AC for the motors, stabilized +12V for the CCD camera, and also unstabilized 15V or 30V for a laser power supply, if required.
Mains voltage can be either 115V or 230V.
(3) For the MK-3 or MK-3, install the ASTRO ELECTRONIC piezo amplifier. For a description see below.
(4) The original Zygo® laser power supply can normally be changed from 115V to 230V internally.
(5) Adjust all optical parts. Be prepared that this work may take a few days. A description for full adjustment would fill a book ...
(6) A small hint for focus adjustment:
Set the zoom to the 75mm position and move the camera until the image is sharp. Then set the zoom to the 12.5mm position and move the whole zoom objective until the image is sharp. Repeat these steps a few times. Do not turn the focus ring of the zoom, the correct setting is "infinite".

-- Output voltage range: -400V ... +400V
-- Input voltage range: -10V ... +10V (or -5V ... +5V)

-- Output connector: HV-BNC or BNC, please specify when ordering
-- Input connector: BNC
-- line voltage: 115V or 230V, please specify when ordering
-- Fits perfectly to the Zygo® MK-3 or MK-4 phase shifter
-- Size: 164mm x 105mm (130mm at bottom) x 66mm

How to modernize a Wyko Siris Interferometer:

The Wyko Siris is a beautiful small Twyman-Green interferometer.
It has an internal reference mirror with a piezoelectric phase shifter.
There is a movable shutter in front of the reference element. It it's closed, the instrument can be used with an external Fizeau reference element.

There exist several different versions of the Siris, I've seen it with 840nm semiconductor lasers and with 633nm He-Ne lasers.
In the original configuration, the laser is in an extra housing on top of the interferometer. This modified Siris does now have an internal He-Ne laser, a new CCD camera, and an internal power supply. You only have to connect the mains power, a video monitor and the remote control.

The laser beam is directed by two small adjustable mirrors (with a small negative lens in the middle between them) to a spatial filter assembly.

WYKO SIRIS in original configuration (not modified): 2200.- EUR plus VAT

WYKO SIRIS
COBRA Controller

This is the electronics box from a SIRIS interferometer.
It does power up, but is otherwise untested. What you see is what you get. Some (but not all) cables included. No manual, no schematics, no warranty. I have two of them.

Price: 60.- EURO plus VAT

WYKO SIRIS

This is the camera from a WYKO SIRIS Interferometer. I sell it untested as-is. The rest of the interferometer was in like-new condition.

The CCD chip is a RA-0100AAQ-011 from Reticon.
Sensitive area is about 6mm x 6mm.

With cable and connector. I don't have the rest of the electronics or any schematic diagrams.

Price: 80.- EURO plus VAT

WYKO SIRIS

This is the camera from a WYKO SIRIS Interferometer. I sell it untested as-is. The interferometer was unopened when I got it, with the factory seals not removed.

This camera has a giant CCD chip:
It's a RA-0226BAQ-011 from Reticon.
Sensitive area is about 10.2mm x 10.2mm.

With cable and connector (not visible in picture). This camera fits to the COBRA controller above, but I don't have the cable that connects the SIRIS with the COBRA. I don't have any schematic diagrams.

Price: 80.- EURO plus VAT

WYKO SIRIS

This is the infrared diode laser from a WYKO SIRIS Interferometer. It is in working condition. The type plate says 840nm wavelength and 2.0 mW maximum power. I do not need the diode laser because I built a 633nm He-Ne laser into the SIRIS.
The key for the switch is missing, but it's absolutely no problem to replace the whole switch, or simply shorten the wires.
Two adjustable mirrors and one lens inside. One spatial filter with pinhole and microscope objective inside. Laser radiation exit is at the bottom of the unit.
I think the supply voltage is about 24-28 VDC.
A Wyko technican told me that the coherence length is several meters if the diode current is adjusted correctly at the multi-turn potentiometer.

Price: 300.- EURO plus VAT
