Mechanical shock experienced by the sponsor’s lenses during shipment can cause imaging problems, such as a change in beam pointing, that burden customers with costly and time-consuming recalibration of their imaging systems.
The sponsor developed ruggedized lenses that resist these misalignments and wants to develop a specification for lens beam displacement following a shock of 15g or more.
The team’s goal is to develop an optical test system for the ruggedized lenses that collects the data needed to create the specification. The test system designed is split into two separate test benches: one induces a 15g mechanical shock and the other measures preshock imaging and any postshock shift in image location.
