  2. OUTLINE • Geometric versus Diffraction Limited Spot Diameter Approximations • Optical Element Parameters • Materials Properties • Thermal Effects/ Athermalization Approximations • Scattering Approximations • Software Tools

  3. For M2 > 6, use (Geometric) Spot Diameter Approximations RMS diameter = 0.7 Dz/Fn • For Diffraction Limited System, Spot Diameter is defined as 86% of encircled energy • For Geometric System, Spot Diameter is defined as • “greater than 50% of encircled energy is within 70% of the marginal ray diameter”

  4. Rules of Thumb for Opto-mechanical Tolerances

  5. B’ B Thermal Effects on a Len Thickness and Radius of Curvature In isotropic materials, a temperature change makes inside Dimensions scale as outside Dimensions. A’ A A’ = DA + A B’ = DB + B DA = A aDT DB = B aDT Radius of Curvature, R, changes to R’, using the same thermal expansion equation.

  6. Thermal Stress, s Use Superposition to Calculate stress due to temperature change For Glass, Do not exceed 1000 psi (7 MegaPascal) in tensile stress 50,000 psi (350 MPa) in compression stress

  9. Total Integrated Scatter Measurement TISb(s,l) = s / ( s + r) = 1 – e –(4 pcosi/l)  Calculation for Straylight for 10W, 1.3 micron, 4% Fresnel Reflection: ( Powerreflected )* Eq. 1 = (10 * 0.04) * (4 Pi 0.08)^2 = 0.54 Watts backwards scattered.

  10. Back Scatter Approximation The approximate backscatter TIS is shown below: TISb(s,l)= As shown above, the approximate TIS is good for σ < ~λ/25. That is, for s(l)/l > 0.04, the approximation underestimates the exact exponential form TIS.

  12. Conclusion • Thermal effects and scattering first order calculations for high power applications. • In your experimental setup, use the incoherent rms spot size equation to determine spot size. This provides the largest (worst case) spot size. • TIS calculations are always conservative since it deals with surface roughness scatter. Internal straie /inclusions/stress will only slightly increase this TIS calculations. • To achieve geometrical approximations, thermal effects must be taken into account for plastics optics over DT = 20 C or more or glass optics needing to operate over DT= 40 C or more.

  16. Calculating Tilt Figure 7 Accounting for tilt of a edge mounted element [3] Using a semidiameter (SD) of 5 mm, R = 162 mm and a gap of 0.7 mm , a tilt of 2 degrees was calculated. This tilt value is used to determine effects on image quality using Zemax.
