An AI-Driven IoT Framework for Autonomous Quality Assurance in Optical Lens Manufacturing
Abstract: The evolution of high-precision optics—ranging from smartphone micro-lenses to high-end astronomical glass—demands unprecedented accuracy in manufacturing. Traditional inspection methods, reliant on manual sampling or static automated optical inspection (AOI), often fail to bridge the gap between high-speed production and the detection of microscopic surface aberrations. This paper introduces an integrated architecture combining the Internet of Things (IoT) and Deep Learning-based decision-making systems to revolutionize lens quality control. By deploying an …

Suitability of Additive Manufacturing Process in Optical Lens Production
Abstract: Additive Manufacturing is one of the non-conventional methods of manufacturing that is gaining immense popularity for its ease to manufacture customized parts. The lenses have always been manufactured using a continuous process of Blanking, Surface generation, Edging and Centering, Grinding, Polishing, and Coating. But the conventional processes demand large inventories and more time. Customization of lenses may also be possible if a process like Additive Manufacturing is implemented. Also, the …

Thermal Effects in High-Power Laser Systems: Modeling and Mitigation
Abstract: High-power laser systems are increasingly employed in industrial manufacturing, defense, medical procedures, and scientific research due to their ability to deliver high energy density with excellent spatial coherence. However, the performance and reliability of these systems are significantly influenced by thermal effects arising from optical absorption, non-radiative recombination, and inefficient heat dissipation within laser gain media and optical components. These thermal phenomena lead to adverse effects such as thermal lensing, …
