In general, temperature and structural loads may generate deformation of optomechanical systems and this deformation has a negative effect on the optical performance.
To analyze and minimize the effects of this deformation on the optical performance is a very important step in optomechanical structure design.
Kim Chol Hyon, a section head at the Faculty of Physical Engineering, has presented an integrated design process for an optomechanical system based on multidisciplinary optimization.
The proposed integrated optimal design process consists of finite element analysis (FEA) by ANSYS Workbench, MATLAB optomechanical transfer program, optical analysis by ZEMAX and multidisciplinary optimization solver by Isight.
By using optimum bipod flexures, he decreased the wavefront error of the primary mirror of Cassegrain Telescope from 29.9 nm to 16.1 nm.
