Opto­Net-Work­shop · Tolerancing

Con­cepts · Tools · Methods

The pur­pose of this course is to pre­sent con­cepts, tools, and methods of the tole­ran­cing pro­cess from assig­ning initial tole­rance values, per­forming sen­si­ti­vity stu­dies, deve­lo­ping ali­gnment stra­te­gies inclu­ding com­pen­sa­tor choice, gene­ra­ting error bud­gets to per­forming Monte Carlo ana­ly­sis. That will help atten­dees deter­mine opti­mal tole­ran­ces for opti­cal sys­tems. Detailed topics in the course apply to dif­fe­rent types of sys­tems being deve­lo­ped – from low-end sin­gle ele­ment to com­plex sys­tems like micro­sco­pic or pho­to­gra­phic len­ses. The importance of tole­ran­cing throug­hout the design pro­cess is dis­cus­sed in detail, inclu­ding deter­mi­ning robust­ness of the spe­ci­fi­ca­tion and design for manu­fac­ture and operation. 

Examp­les are included to help rese­ar­chers, desi­gners, engi­neers, and tech­ni­ci­ans prac­ti­cally apply the con­cepts to plan, design, engi­neer, and build high-qua­lity cost-com­pe­ti­tive opti­cal systems.

AGENDA · DAY 1 (Febru­ary, 28) · 13:30 – 16:00

Kris­tina Uhlen­dorfLin­ke­dIn is head of the Opti­cal Engi­nee­ring group at Magic Leap Inc. She recei­ved her MS and PhD in Physics/Optics from the Fried­rich-Schil­ler Uni­ver­sity Jena, Ger­many. After gra­dua­ting, she spent 11 years at Carl Zeiss desig­ning pre­cis­ion opti­cal assem­blies such as mask/wafer inspec­tion sys­tems, pho­to­gra­phic len­ses and pro­jec­tion optics. Before she joi­ned Magic Leap in 2021 she worked at the Rese­arch School of Astro­nomy & Astro­phy­sics, ANU Can­berra, Aus­tra­lia; Jen­op­tik Opti­cal Sys­tems GmbH, Ger­many and Jabil Optics GmbH, Ger­many. She has expe­ri­ence desig­ning a wide range of opti­cal sys­tems from UV to IR, endo­sco­pic len­ses to telesco­pes with a strong focus on tole­ran­cing and manufacturability.

Tobias HönleLin­ke­dIn stu­died laser and opto­tech­no­lo­gies at the Uni­ver­sity of Applied Sci­en­ces in Jena, Ger­many. After­wards, he gai­ned expe­ri­ence in opti­cal design, as well as the tole­ran­cing of opti­cal sys­tems in various appli­ca­tion areas, espe­ci­ally for sys­tems with asphe­ri­cal pla­s­tic len­ses, in dif­fe­rent posi­ti­ons at Carl Zeiss, Fraun­ho­fer IOF and Jen­op­tik in Jena. Since 2022, he has been working on the deve­lo­p­ment of AR glas­ses at Magic Leap, Inc. and is lea­ding the opti­cal design team there since July 2023.

Venue

• The work­shop will take place in Jena, the city of Ernst Abbe and Carl Zeiss who laid the foun­da­tion for modern optics 150 years ago. Since then, the sci­ence city Jena has been shaped by inno­va­tive, light-based tech­no­lo­gies. Enjoy the spi­rit in the young uni­ver­sity town sur­roun­ded by a magni­fi­cent land­scape and well-known sights of Euro­pean history.
• The venue is the SCALA Sky Con­fe­rence on top of the Jentower.
• With pro­fes­sio­nal tech­ni­cal equip­ment and a plea­santly undis­tur­bed envi­ron­ment in an inno­va­tive dyna­mic envi­ron­ment, the best con­di­ti­ons for con­cen­tra­ted work are created.

Regis­tra­tion

• The regis­tra­tion is open. Opto­Net mem­bers bene­fit from a spe­cial price.
• Con­fe­rence mate­ri­als, docu­ments and exer­ci­ses are included in the con­fe­rence fee.
• Par­ti­ci­pants are kindly expec­ted to cover the costs for their indi­vi­dual tra­vel and accommodation.
• Please bring your own note­book with working Zemax Optic Stu­dio & Excel.

Can­cel­la­tion Policy

• Can­cel­la­ti­ons must be made by email and are free of charge until 20 January.
• No refunds will be made for can­cel­la­ti­ons after Janu­ary 20 or for no-shows.
• In case a par­ti­ci­pant would not be able to attend the trai­ning, a sub­sti­tute can be accepted. Trai­ning will be con­firmed as soon as the mini­mum num­ber of par­ti­ci­pants has been rea­ched. All par­ti­ci­pants will receive a final con­fir­ma­tion. Trai­ning fees are reim­bur­sed in case of can­cel­la­tion due to force majeure or due to spea­k­ers pre­ven­ti­ons. No com­pen­sa­tion will be paid for any addi­tio­nal costs incurred.
