Refer to the schedule and descriptions below. No pre-registration is necessary, but seating is limited. (Booth 1230)
Aspheres: tolerancing for high performance
Tues. 11:00 AM | Wed. 11:00 AM | Thurs. 10:30 AM
Survey of methods for tolerancing of precision aspheres.
Understanding mid-spatial frequency metrology
Tues. 12:00 PM | Wed. 12:00 PM | Thurs. 11:30 AM
Increasing demands on optics manufacturing requires mid-spatial frequency measurement capabilities. Several options exist in various lateral resolution domains. This micro-seminar reviews metrology concepts and techniques. These will guide your understanding and help you manufacture what the industry is demanding.
Sub-Angstrom roughness: measuring the ultra-smooth
Tues. 1:00 PM | Wed. 1:00 PM | Thurs. 12:30 PM
Measuring surface roughness on extremely smooth surfaces with a 3D Optical Profiler presents a number of unique challenges. This micro-seminar covers several of these issues including characterization of the measurement tool noise, optical resolution and spatial filtering, measurement averaging and its effects on noise, and how to detect when the tool environment is the limiting factor in measurement capability.
Certainties about measurement uncertainty
Tues. 2:00 PM | Wed. 2:00 PM | Thurs. 1:30 PM
Is your metrology accurate? This micro-seminar explores issues with accuracy and measurement uncertainty important to all users of metrology.
All shook up: 3D metrology in high-vibration environments
Tues. 3:00 PM | Wed. 3:00 PM | Thurs. 2:30 PM
Interferometry enables fast, high precision 3D metrology; but has traditionally required controlled environments to achieve best results. Several new developments overcome this limitation, enabling new applications and metrology process flexibility. This micro-seminar reviews mechanical and acoustic disturbance effects, provide a qualitative method to characterize metrology environments and discuss how new techniques address these challenges.
Specifying Optical Systems: getting what you need, without paying for what you don't
Tues. 4:00 PM | Wed. 4:00 PM | Thurs. 3:30 PM
Rapidly evolving technologies and manufacturing methods can make writing a system specification a difficult and potentially risky endeavor. This micro seminar will help make you aware of common pitfalls, and provide some tools to help you write a good spec that will be the cornerstone of the partnership between you, your vendor, and your customer.
