Abstract

In this paper, a tolerance allocation method using Monte-Carlo simulation with measured reflective eccentricity for high-sensitive IR optics is proposed. During optics fabrication and alignment, reflective eccentricity was measured using an optical centration measurement instrument. A Monte-Carlo simulation was performed using measured eccentricity data, and it gives statistical estimated performance of the optics after fabrication. The validity of the proposed tolerance allocation method was verified comparing the estimated MTF result with the measured MTF result of the fabricated optics.

본 논문에서는 광학 민감도가 큰 IR 광학계의 조립정렬과정에서 목표 성능을 만족시키기 위한 조립정렬 허용범위를 설정하는 방법을 제시하였다. 조립정렬 과정에서 편심측정기를 이용하여 각각의 광학소자에 대한 반사 편심량을 측정할 수 있다. 측정된 값을 이용하여 몬테카를로 시뮬레이션을 수행하였고 이를 이용하여 조립 정렬 이후의 광학계의 성능을 예측하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과와 실제 제작된 광학계의 광학 성능을 비교하여 본 논문에서 제시한 공차 할당 기법의 타당성을 확인하였다.
