Monte Carlo Model of Optomechanical Tolerance for Lens Assembly

Article Preview

Abstract:

Research on the opto-mechanical tolerance analysis for lens optical system is presented. Take a traditional "drop-in" assembly for example. How fabrication tolerances transfer to tolerances of optical elements is analysed. Finally, Monte-Carlo model for opto-mechanical tolerances is proposed, which considers both the fabrication and assembly process.
