Adaptive optics is being explored actively for several applications such as wavefront correction in biomedical imaging (retinal surgery), variable focal length lenses, and adaptive zoom micromirrors. Diaphragm micromirrors have several advantages such as continuity in image and ease of fabrication. This paper investigates, for the first time to the best of our knowledge, fabrication of diaphragm micromirror using a recently proposed novel process of ‘Bulk Lithography’. In contrast to classical microstereolithography (MSL) processes of 3D layer-by-layer micro fabrication, bulk lithography fabrication is done by scanning of laser beam over the photopolymer resin of unconstraint depth in a single layer scan. The process has capability to fabricate smoothly varying thickness diaphragms for micromirrors. However, as a first step, this paper demonstrates fabrication of uniform thickness micromirrors coated with aluminum. Micromirrors are fabricated with air trapped beneath them which contributes to enhanced stiffness and low damping. Further fabricated micromirror is characterized using laser doppler vibrometer.

Sandia Optical Fringe Analysis Slope Tool (SOFAST) is a mirror facet characterization system based on fringe reflection technology that has been applied to dish and heliostat mirror facet development at Sandia National Laboratories and development partner sites. The tool provides a detailed map of mirror facet surface normals as compared to design and fitted surfaces. In addition, the surface fitting process provides insights into systematic facet slope characterization, such as focal lengths, tilts, and twist of the facet. In this paper, a preliminary analysis of the sensitivities of the facet characterization outputs to variations of SOFAST input parameters is presented. The results of the sensitivity analysis provided the basis for a linear uncertainty analysis which is also included here. Input parameters included hardware parameters and SOFAST setup variables. Output parameters included the fitted shape parameters (focal lengths and twist) and the residuals (typically called slope error). The study utilized empirical propagation of input parameter errors through facet characterization calculations to the output parameters, based on the measurement of an Advanced Dish Development System (ADDS) structural gore point-focus facet. Thus, this study is limited to the characterization of sensitivities of the SOFAST embodiment intended for dish facet characterization. With reasonably careful setup, SOFAST is demonstrated to provide facet focal length characterization within 0.5% of actual. Facet twist is accurate within ± 0.03 mrad/m. The local slope deviation measurement is accurate within ± 0.05 mrad, while the global slope residual is accurate within ± 0.005 mrad. All uncertainties are quoted with 95% confidence.

A 100 kv transmission scanning microscope is now being constructed which should have a point resolution of 2.5 to 3 Å. The design of this microscope is similar to the design of our existing 30 kv 5 Å microscope, but there are several significant changes which are based upon some difficulties and sources of inflexibility of that microscope.A field emission electron gun of our usual design will be used as the source of electrons, the only difference being that the spacing between the anodes has been increased from 2 to 3 cm. The electron beam will then pass through a condenser lens which will produce a parallel beam of electrons. This parallel beam will then be focused onto the specimen by means of a short focal length lens (approximately 1 mm focal length). The reason for using a condenser lens to produce the parallel beam of electrons is that in the future a quadrupole-octupole correction system will be installed in this section of the microscope in order to attempt to correct the spherical aberrations of the objective lens and thereby improve its resolution.

Model of capacity of valve with conic rod, which is used for control of beam current of high voltage glow discharge electron guns, is considered. Because of complicity of valve details geometry, mathematical model of dozed item is improved by suitable choosing of empirical coefficients and its approximation. On the base of modeling and experimental data analyzing of dependence of valve exploitation characteristics from geometry parameters of dozed item is provided. Obtained results can be used for simulation of stability of operation of high voltage glow discharge electron guns inconsisting of technological equipment

AbstractPhotonic devices often use light delivered by a single-mode telecommunication fibre. However, as the diameter of the core of the optical fibre is of 10 microns, and the transverse dimensions of the photonic waveguides are usually micrometer or less, there is an issue of incompatibility. The problem may be solved by application of tapered optical fibres. For efficient light coupling, the taper should be prepared so as to create a beam of long focal length and small spot diameter in the focus. The article describes the design, fabrication and characterization of tapered optical fibres prepared with a fibre-optic fusion splicer. We modelled the tapers with FDTD method, for estimation of the influence of the tapered length and angle on the spot diameter and the focal length of an outgoing beam. We fabricated tapers from a standard single mode fibre by the Ericsson 995 PMfi- bre-optic fusion splicer. We planned the splicing technology so as to get the needed features of the beam. We planned a multistep fusion process, with optimized fusion current and fusion time. The experimental measurements of best tapered optical fibres were carried out by the knife-edge method.

In this paper we present a detailed evaluation of a micro-opto-electromechanical system (MOEMS) for active focusing which is realized using an electrostatically deformed thin silicon membrane. The evaluation is done using finite element methods and experimental characterization of the device behavior. The devices are realized in silicon on insulator technology. The influence of internal stress especially resulting from the high compressive buried oxide (BOX) layer is evaluated. Additionally, the effect of stress gradients in the crystalline device layer and of high reflective coatings such as aluminum is discussed. The influence of variations of some important process steps on the device performance is quantified. Finally, practical properties such as focal length control, long-term stability, hysteresis and dynamical response are presented and evaluated. The evaluation proves that the proposed membrane focusing device is suitable for high performance imaging (wavefront errors between λ/5–λ/10) with a large aperture (5 mm).
