Design and realization of components based on free-form optical elements M. Johansen N.C.R. Holme P.G. Dinesen J. B. Rasmussen Kaleido-Technology a/s
Outline Design and realization of components based on free-form optical elements • Motivation • Design • Manufacturing • Testing • Conclusion
Motivation • Freeform optics lead to • More degrees of freedom • Reduced number of elements • Simplified assembly
Design • Astigmatic lens: • Replace spherical+cylindrical • Replace two cylindrical
Design II • Ray-tracing • z = a x2+ b y2
From Design to Fabrication • Software conversion from Zemax design file to nc-tool-path program • 3d cad program used for verification
Manufacturing • Moore Nanotechnology Systems FG-350: • Grinding and diamond-turning capabilities • Tool : R=0.5 mm, 0 rake, non-controlled • X-Z-C programming inverse time • Target values • Roughness ~ 10 nm • Waviness ~
Metrology I • Free-form measurements:
Optical testing I • Optical test setup • Fit with double gauss
Conclusion • Compensation of astigmatism by the use of a single free-form lens • Simple 3d-freeform metrology using on-machine “2d-software”
