I would recommend using methanol instead since it's not as harsh as acetone. In order to avoid smears the methanol should be as pure as possible and stored in a glass bottle. Lens tissue should be used instead of kleenex, and the methanol should be applied over the tissue while on the prism...
Thanks for the response IRstuff.
In my application power coupling is of the highest importance so the entire FOV needs to meet a certain dimeter since at infinity. After refreshing my memory with some optics basics I understand now that I will have to sacrifice performance at the centre to...
Hello everyone,
Does anyone know what makes for a good design of a collimator?
In ZEMAX the lens design which provides the smallest overall beam width at infinity (or let's just say in the far field) yields larger aberrations as shown by ray fan and opd plots. Furthermore, the image of each...
