TEMPERATURE DEPENDENT SIMULATION OF AN ALVAREZ-HUMPHREY OPTICS

摘要

Performance of optical systems or components oftenrndepends on environmental effects like e.g. variation of thernambient temperature. This problem is known in lensrndesign of e.g. optical components used in concentratingrnphotovoltaics (CPV) [1]. The same problem arises forrnoptical systems designed to restore the accommodation ofrnthe human eye. To be able to model and simulate therneffect of temperature influences on the opticalrnperformance a coupling between a mechanical simulator,rne.g. a finite element method (FEM) tool and an opticalrnsimulator has to be achieved. In this paper the coupling ofrnthe commercial FEM tool ANSYS [2] and the commercialrnoptical simulation tool ZEMAX-EE [3] is shown andrnapplied to the optics of the Artificial Accommodationrnsystem.
