Compensators

. Compensators: - changeable system parameter to partly compensate the influence of tolerances - compensators are costly due to an adjustment step in the production - usually the tolerances can be enlarged, which lowers the cost of components - clever balance of cost and performance between tolerances and adjustment . Adjustment steps should be modelled to lear about their benefit, observation of criterias, moving width,... . Special case: image position compensates for tolerances of radii, indices, thickness . Centeriung : lateral shift of one lens to get a circular symmetric point spread function on axis . Adjustment of air distances between lenses to adjust for spherical aberration, afocal image position,...

7 Adjustment and Compensation

. Example Microscopic lens

. Adjusting: 1. Axial shifting lens : focus 2. Clocking: astigmatism 3. Lateral shifting lens: coma

. Ideal : Strehl DS = 99.62 %

With tolerances : DS = 0.1 %

After adjusting : DS = 99.3 %

Straylight and Ghost Images

What is Stray light?

. Diffraction at aperture diffraction-limited PSF, blurred image

. Ghosts specular reflections from imperfectly coated refractive surfaces

. Unwanted diffraction orders imperfect diffracting surfaces generate spurious images (e.g. Unintentional gratings from diamond turning process)

Ref: K. Uhlendorf 11

What is Stray light?

. Scatter from structures

. Scatter from optical surfaces contamination and sub-wavelength surface defects

. Thermal emission from optical and mechanical surfaces

Heating of Optical Systems

. Rise of : 1. Scaling of components in size 2. Stress and strain (birefringence), especially at the -metal interface 3. Change of refractive indices with temperature (mostly dominant effect)

. Reasons for changes in temperature: - environmental changes - absorption of light in components Problem: depends on actual power level

. Homogeneous increase in temperature: usually not critical, can be compensated by focussing

. Temperature gradients inside the lenses: - very critical, if transverse oriented - chnages of wavefront accross the pupil

. Boundary conditions in optical systems: - heat conduction via mountings (dominant) - air convection - T4 radiation

Heating of Lens Systems

. Homogeneous rise of temperature: typical not very critical, compensated by defocussing . Heating by absorption and internal heating by the signal light

- gradients are the problem: lensing effects

. Boundary conditions badly defined: - heat flow and cooling by mechanical parts - cooling by air turbulence

. Totally three different effects: 1. geometric expansion 2. index gradients due to dn/dT 3. material stress and birefringence
