Abstract:

This article describes an approach to the robust design of an optical micromachine consisting of a freeform optics, an amplification linkage, and an actuator. The robust design approach consists of monolithic integration principles to minimize assembly efforts and of an optimization of the functional components with respect to robustness against remaining assembly and manufacturing tolerances. The design approach presented involves the determination of the relevant tolerances arising from the domains manufacturing, assembly, and operation of the micromachine followed by a sensitivity analysis with the objective of identifying the worst offender. Subsequent to the above-described steps, an optimization of the functional design of the freeform optics with respect to a compensation of the effects of the tolerances is performed. The result leads to a robust design of the freeform optics and hence ensures a defined and optimal minimum performance of the micromachine in the presence of tolerances caused by the manufacturing processes and the operation of the micromachine. The micromachine under discussion is the tunable optics of an ophthalmic implant, an artificial accommodation system recently realized as a demonstration model at a scale of 2:1. ... mehr
