The development of additive manufacturing methods has enlarged rapidly in recent years. Thereby, the work mainly focuses on the realization of mechanical components, but the additive manufacturing technology offers a high potential in the field of optics as well. Owing to new design possibilities, completely new solutions are possible. This article briefly reviews and compares the most important additive manufacturing methods for polymer optics. Additionally, it points out the characteristics of additive manufactured polymer optics. Thereby, surface quality is of crucial importance. In order to improve it, appropriate post-processing steps are necessary (e.g. robot polishing or coating), which will be discussed. An essential part of this paper deals with various additive manufactured optical components and their use, especially in optical systems for shape metrology (e.g. borehole sensor, tilt sensor, freeform surface sensor, fisheye lens). The examples should demonstrate the potentials and limitations of optical components produced by additive manufacturing.

Scintillator based detectors are used to monitor beam losses in the Fermilab accelerator complex. These detectors are approximately 500 times faster than traditional ionization chamber loss monitors and can see beam losses 20 nanoseconds apart. These fast loss monitors are used in areas of the accelerator known to be sources of heavy beam loss and as such, are exposed to high doses of radiation. Over time, radiation exposure reduces the ability of optical components to transmit light by darkening the material. The most dramatic effects are seen in the optical cement and light guide materials comprising the detector. We exploremore » this darkening effect by measuring the transmittance spectra of the detector materials for varying irradiation exposures. Presented here, are the optical transmittance spectra for a variety of radiation exposures and optical materials. The data has revealed an epoxy which withstands exposure far better than traditional optical cements.« less
