Tolerancing Optical Systems
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Introduction Tolerancing an optical system has traditionally fallen between an art and a science. Experience and intuition has driven optical engineers for decades in deciding the appropriate tolerances to place on optical components and the mechanics holding them. In an effort to systematically quantify this process, mathematical methods have been reported by Warren Smith, Ronald Willey, and others to develop an analytical approach. These efforts detail how to create a tolerance budget for an optical system.

Extensions to the Chatoyant O/E CAD Framework for Modeling Micro-Opto-Electronic Systems
nia, San Diego. The tool has been extensively used to design and simulate free space opto-electronic interconnect systems.[1] Chatoyant is capable of performing end-to-end system simulations, with analyses including bit error rate (BER), insertion loss, cross talk, and mechanical tolerancing. Chatoyant’s optical library includes sources (VCSELs and MQW modulators), optical components (lenses, l...
متن کاملOptical Design Tolerancing
David Hasenauer, CODE V Product Manager Introduction During the design of any optical system destined to be manufactured, it is critical to define a fabrication and assembly budget. This budget must consider any potential compensation that will be used during the manufacturing process to mitigate the performance degradation introduced by fabrication variations. It is important to specify the be...

متن کاملMaximizing production yield and performance in optical instruments through effective design and tolerancing
The focus of this paper is concerned with the practical aspects of designing optical instruments which are intended for production in large or even small quantities . Certain aspects of performance are required of an instrument which is its reason to exist . It is usually expedient, plus fiscally and ecologically sound, to strive for an overall efficient use of resources in the life cycle of th...
متن کاملA dimensional tolerancing knowledge management system using Nested Ripple Down Rules (NRDR)
This paper proposes to use a knowledge acquisition (KA) approach based on Nested Ripple Down Rules (NRDR) to assist in mechanical design focusing on dimensional tolerancing. A knowledge approach to incrementally model expert design processes is implemented. The knowledge is acquired in the context of its use, which substantially supports the KA process. The knowledge is captured which human des...
