Technix by CBS is proud to be an official North American distributor for Inometrix Inc., a pioneer of innovative optical measurement solutions for the Sensing, Imaging and Telecommunications markets.

Inometrix's products are based on a breakthrough Virtual Reference™ Interferometer technology. This technology represents a paradigm shift in the way we think about the interferometer by replacing the physical reference path with a virtual one. This elegant technique has many significant advantages over traditional interferometry. More Information about Virtual Reference™

Virtual Reference Analyser™
The Virtual Reference Analyser™ is the first deployment of Inometrix's patent-pending advanced new Virtual Reference™ Technology and is the most accurate commercial system for measuring the dispersion properties of optical components.

The system is based on Inometrix’s patent-pending Virtual Reference™ Technology which eliminates the need for expensive temperature control and error-inducing calibration to provide a consistently stable measurement.

Used with a third-party tunable laser¹, the Virtual Reference™ Analyser provides reliable characterization to accuracy orders of magnitude above the standard technologies in a fraction of the time and enables for the first time, characterization of some components and systems such as short-length speciality fiber.

"One million times better than anything available on the market today" - Michael Galle C.E.O. Inometrix Inc.
