Synopsis
The topical meeting (TOM) on Optical System Design, Tolerancing and Manufacturing will highlight significant technology trends, emerging technologies and associated prospective developments in the field of optics design, tolerancing and fabrication. This TOM provides a forum for all aspects of optics design and fabrication, ranging from micro to large-scale optics and from high value one-off to mass-produced components including lessons learned papers on special design and manufacturing issues. One main goal of the meeting is to provide a better link between the design, the manufacturing, and the characterization of optical components and systems. Consequently, special attention will be paid to the collaboration between design and fabrication to generate cost-effective and manufacturable optical systems.
Topics
- Optical and optomechanical system design and tolerancing
- Metrology, from surfaces to systems
- Optics Fabrication, from single piece to High-Volume Fab, sub-millimeter to meter optics
- Systems engineering and architecture for optical systems
- Optical design: modeling, methods, and solutions
- Smart optics factory: modeling of optical fabrication and supply chains
- AI used in optical systems generation
- Progress in optics fabrication, metrology, and coating
