Abstract

Software simulation of complex resonator and optical system designs offer the potential to couple traditional opto/mechanical tolerance analysis with the required system performance. One such a software platform, ASAP, and the methodology to perform tolerance analyses has been evaluated and validated for the case of the crossed Porro resonator. Simulation results and experimental measurements are presented and discussed.
