prototyping of optical integrator

T
o beable to produce a  flat field of light and improve the etendue of an optical projection system, an rod integrator is  needed.  The  projection from the flat end of a PMMA bar is fitted to the projection area.  The bar also preserve the polarisation from the light source.


A polishing tool is used to be able to grind and polish the surface flat.

Work on this device is done at the Ralon laboratory at the science Park in Jönköping.
