This book was released on 2018-10-16 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Covers the fundamental science of grinding and polishing by examining the chemical and mechanical interactions over many scale lengths Manufacturing next generation optics has been, and will continue to be, enablers for enhancing the performance of advanced laser, imaging, and spectroscopy systems. This book reexamines the age-old field of optical fabrication from a materials-science perspective, specifically the multiple, complex interactions between the workpiece (optic), slurry, and lap. It also describes novel characterization and fabrication techniques to improve and better understand the optical fabrication process, ultimately leading to higher quality optics with higher yield. Materials Science and Technology of Optical Fabrication is divided into two major parts. The first part describes the phenomena and corresponding process parameters affecting both the grinding and polishing processes during optical fabrication. It then relates them to the critical resulting properties of the optic (surface quality, surface figure, surface roughness, and material removal rate). The second part of the book covers a number of related topics including: developed forensic tools used to increase yield of optics with respect to surface quality (scratch/dig) and fracture loss; novel characterization and fabrication techniques used to understand/quantify the fundamental phenomena described in the first part of the book; novel and recent optical fabrication processes and their connection with the fundamental interactions; and finally, special techniques utilized to fabricate optics with high damage resistance. Focuses on the fundamentals of grinding and polishing, from a materials science viewpoint, by studying the chemical and mechanical interactions/phenomena over many scale lengths between the workpiece, slurry, and lap Explains how these phenomena affect the major characteristics of the optic workpiece—namely surface figure, surface quality, surface roughness, and material removal rate Describes methods to improve the major characteristics of the workpiece as well as improve process yield, such as through fractography and scratch forensics Covers novel characterization and fabrication techniques used to understand and quantify the fundamental phenomena of various aspects of the workpiece or fabrication process Details novel and recent optical fabrication processes and their connection with the fundamental interactions Materials Science and Technology of Optical Fabrication is an excellent guidebook for process engineers, fabrication engineers, manufacturing engineers, optical scientists, and opticians in the optical fabrication industry. It will also be helpful for students studying material science and applied optics/photonics.

Download or read book Fabrication of Precise Optical Components Using Electroforming Process and Precision Molding written by Abolfazl Zolfaghari and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Applications of precise optical components with complex shapes are becoming more popular because of demands for more accurate, smaller size optical components. Although fabrication techniques of the components have advanced in recent years, only molding based methods are typically suitable for mass production. On the other hand, molding based methods are less capable of creating complex optical components. To deal with these limitations, a process based on nickel electroforming is introduced to replicate mold inserts directly from a plastic optical component, which itself can be fabricated by any fabrication methods with high flexibility. Then, using the plated mold insert in precision compression molding, the optical components are replicated. To investigate replication capabilities of the developed method in fabrication of plastic optical components, a polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) microlens array was replicated to a nickel-plated mold first from another plastic microlens array then mass-produced using compression molding process. Properties of both microlens arrays, were investigated for geometrical accuracy, surface quality, and optical performance. The results demonstrated a promising technique to manufacture plastic optical component with high production rates. Fabrication capabilities of the method in production of infrared optics was also evaluated through producing an infrared microlens array from a plastic microlens array. Comparison between the fabricated infrared microlens array and the plastic microlens array in terms of geometry, surface quality, and optical performance has shown that it is a promising technique for replicating infrared microlens arrays. Using the developed method, a new fabrication method of non-planar optical component with large area was also proposed and demonstrated by producing micro feature on a cylindrical surface. The technique was capable to transfer micro-optical features from a planar surface, which is much easier to produce, to non-planar surfaces. To assess possibility of fabricating complex glass optical surfaces using the developed fabrication technique, a nickel mold of diffractive harmonic diffractive lens (HDL) from a plastic HDL was made. Then, the mold and precision compression molding were used to fabricate glass harmonic diffractive lens. Geometrical analysis and optical performance of the plastic and the fabricated HDL showed that the method is capable to be used in fabrication of precision glass optics as well. Precision compression molding is one of the most suitable mass production methods of optical components with micro/nanoscale surface features. This process suffers from long heating and cooling cycles. To deal with the challenge, a novel precision compression molding was proposed. In the proposed process, induction heating of a thin nickel mold insert is used. In the process, the nickel mold insert is replicated from a plastic optical component as described before. To evaluate cooling and heating cycles of the method, a numerical model of the heating system using finite element method (FEM) was created and run in this research. According to simulation results, heating and cooling rates were significantly improved. Geometrical analysis and optical performance evaluation of the replicated microlens array have shown that the proposed fabrication method has a potential to reduce the problems of conventional bulk heating system.
