Version 2.6 of the
Ivorytm Optomechanical Modeling Tools –
has recently been shipped to
all subscribers.
Ivory software gives the
mechanical engineer control over his
image:
Locates all the
(intermediate and final) images in the system
Calculates the Gaussian
focal length of the system
Provides the magnification
of all elements in the system
Provides the influences of
all the system’s elements on the system’s image
Prepares a Nastran Unified finite element model of the
optical system
Control –
Thermal sensitivity
Atmospheric pressure
sensitivity
Boresight stability
Image jitter
Alignment mechanisms…
…and much, much more.
All subscribers to Version 2
receive the upgrades automatically as they are proven effective in our own
practice of the optomechanical engineering arts.

A
Talk: Bridging the Chasm
Applying the arts of structural mechanics in optics
Most
of us in the optical industry know that Galileo Galilei was the father of
astronomy some 400 years ago (1610, to be exact).
Very
few recall that he was also the father of structural mechanics. In 1638 he wrote in his notes, “… how far
will this beam bend and when will it break..?”
He was the first person to describe the structural mechanics problem in
the terms in which would ultimately be solved.
Did it take 28 years for the great man to figure out that the quality of
his observations was controlled by the strength and stability of the structure
that held the optical elements together?
This 45-minute talk celebrates the union of the
optical and the structural arts as well as discussing some of the issues that
separate them today.
A Tutorial: Optomechanical Analysis
Discover how to get the most reliable assessment of the impact on optical performance of the mechanical engineer's design decisions. The seminar surveys the methods available for coupling the mechanical and optical effects including Optomechanical Constraint Equations(tm) techniques, Optical Analog(tm) techniques and “integrated analysis”. It will help you determine the most effective procedures for your optomechanical analysis efforts.
