  • Enabling the Production of Aspheric Glass Lenses with Diffractive Structures K
    Proceedings of the 11th euspen International Conference – Como – May 2011 Enabling the Production of Aspheric Glass Lenses with Diffractive Structures K. Georgiadis1,2, B. Bulla1, D. Hollstegge1, O. Dambon1, F. Klocke1,2 1Fraunhofer Institute for Production Technology, Germany 2Fraunhofer Project Center for Coatings in Manufacturing, Germany [email protected] Abstract The demand for complex-shaped optical components is rising rapidly, driven by their significant advantages over traditional optics. A great example are lenses that combine aspherical surfaces and diffraction gratings. These can eliminate spherical as well as chromatic aberrations in imaging optics and can therefore replace multi-lens optical systems. Although glass aspheric lenses or lenses with diffraction gratings can be manufactured by various production technologies, the production of glass lenses that combine both was not possible until now. In this paper, the development of a production method of such lenses using precision glass moulding is presented. 1 Introduction Precision glass moulding is a replicative technology, where a glass blank is heated and isothermally pressed to the desired shape between ultra-precision moulds. After the moulding process, no further processing is necessary [1]. Usually, binderless cemented tungsten carbide is precision ground to form the moulding tools, which are then coated with noble metal coatings in order to reduce the chemical interactions with the glass and increase their lifetime [2-3]. In order to manufacture diffractive structures on an aspheric surface, diamond turning must be used, since only this technology enables the production of the very fine and sharp structures required. The problem is that not all materials can be diamond turned.

  • A NEW TECHNIQUE in GLASS ART JOANNE MITCHELL a Thesis Su
    PRECISION AIR ENTRAPMENT THROUGH APPLIED DIGITAL AND KILN TECHNOLOGIES: A NEW TECHNIQUE IN GLASS ART JOANNE MITCHELL A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the University of Sunderland for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy August 2015 Precision Air Entrapment through Applied Digital and Kiln Technologies: A New Technique in Glass Art Joanne Mitchell PhD 2015 1 Precision Air Entrapment through Applied Digital and Kiln Technologies: A New Technique in Glass Art Joanne Mitchell 2015 Abstract The motivation for the research was to expand on the creative possibilities of air bubbles in glass, through the application of digital and kiln technologies to formulate and control complex air entrapment, for new configurations in glass art. In comparison to glassblowing, air entrapment in kiln forming glass practice is under-developed and undocumented. This investigation has devised new, replicable techniques to position and manipulate air in kiln-formed glass, termed collectively as Kiln-controlled Precision Air Entrapment. As a result of the inquiry, complex assemblages of text and figurative imagery have been produced that allow the articulation of expressive ideas using air voids, which were not previously possible. The research establishes several new innovations for air-entrapment in glass, as well as forming a technical hypotheses and a practice-based methodology. The research focuses primarily on float glass and the application of CNC abrasive waterjet cutting technology; incorporating computer aided design and fabrication alongside more conventional glass-forming methods. The 3-axis CNC abrasive waterjet cutting process offers accuracy of cut and complexity of form and scale, across a flat plane of sheet glass.

  • Thermoplastic Forming of Metallic Glass: Die Selection, Microforming and Property Characterisation
    Thermoplastic Forming of Metallic Glass: Die Selection, Microforming and Property Characterisation Thesis by Amir Monfared A Thesis in Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering The University of New South Wales Sydney, Australia August 2018 PLEASE TYPE THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname or Family name: Monfared First name: Amir Other name/s: ;. Abbreviation for degree as given in the University calendar: PhD School: Mechanical and Manufacturing Faculty: Engineering Title: Thermoplastic Forming of Metallic Glass: Die Selection, Microforming and Property Characterisation Abstract 350 words maximum: (PLEASE TYPE) Metallic glass (MG) is a promising class of materials with exceptional properties. Due to non-equilibrium amorphous structure, manufacturing of these alloys is challenging and might lead to structural and properties changes. Thermoplastic forming (TPF) is an efficient manufacturing technique of MGs. However, there are still many challenges (e.g. MG/die adhesion) and ambiguities such as the effect of TPF on apparent viscosity, mechanical property and structure which should be resolved. Accordingly, this thesis aims to examine TPF of MGs and improve the manufacturing of these alloys. The following lists the major findings of this thesis: 1) The dies with lower surface free energy (SFE) and higher bonding dissociation energy showed the least adhesion with MGs. Chemical adhesion and diffusionwere recognized as the primary adhesion mechanisms. New models were developed and verified for the evaluation of SFE of MGs and the work of adhesion between MGs and dies. 2) Apparent viscosity investigations revealed that at lower temperatures the apparent viscosity increased throughout the tests.

  • Shape Memory Molding: a New Method for Fabricating Polymer Optics
    1st International Conference on on Optics, Photonics and Lasers (OPAL' 2018) 9-11May 2018, Barcelona, Spain Shape Memory Molding: A New Method for Fabricating Polymer Optics W. D. Liu 1 and L.C. Zhang 1 1 Laboratory for Precision and Nano Processing Technologies, School of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, University of New South Wales, Sydney, NSW, 2052 Australia Tel.: +61 2 93856078, fax: +61 2 96631222 E-mail: [email protected] Summary: This paper reports a new molding technique for fabricating polymer optics based on the shape memory property of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA). Different from traditional thermoforming techniques that require expensive and time-consuming moulding process, this technique only needs a programmed PMMA sample, a mold, and a furnace. Particularly, in this paper a programmed PMMA sample was prepared via high-temperature compression; a mold with micro-lens array cavities was fabricated by an ultra-precision machining center; shape memory molding was conducted at high temperature without applying any external force. It was found that after the programming process, significant residual stress was stored in the PMMA sample, which can be characterized by a polariscope. During the shape memory moulding process, the residual stress could be released, and the sample expanded and filled the die cavities. The profile of the moulded micro-lens arrays was charactered by a white light interferometer system. Keywords: Shape memory molding, polymer optics, residual stress, PMMA, microlens array 1. Introduction transition temperature is 105 ˚C. Circular samples with a thickness of 2.6 mm and a diameter of 7 mm Polymer optics are widely used in optical devices were cut from the raw material plate and polished by due to their low cost of materials, high production #2000 sandpaper.
