Contactless inspection of complex optical components
In co-operation with: INGENERIC (former Aixtooling) / Fraunhofer IPT
Test objects: Novel quartz and diamond optics with complex geometries, such as aspheric lenses and array structures manufactured using a precision molding technique. Shape and roughness Fast, contactless measurement in very tight spaces (small, densely packed arrays, concave test specimens, complex free-form surfaces), tolerances in the submicron range Precision fiber-optic measuring system with high-accuracy sensor and custom-made miniature probe (Ø 1.4 mm) | ||
In order to improve beam guidance systems, Aixtooling GmbH is developing novel quartz and diamond optics with complex geometries, such as aspheric lenses and array structures using a precision molding technique. Due to the high pressures and temperatures involved during manufacture, micro-cracks and adhesions can result that impair the quality of the lenses. Because of this, continuous metrological quality control is necessary. |
