Publication number: 20220339877Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a system for performing scanning projection stereolithography. The system uses a light projector which is configured to generate a polymerizing optical signal to initiate polymerization of a photopolymerizable resin or material at a build plane. An optics subsystem collimates and focuses the polymerizing optical signal. The optics subsystem is movable relative to the build plane to optimize focus of the polymerizing optical signal at the build plane. A light scanning subsystem directs the polymerizing optical signal received from the optics subsystem to selected X axis and Y axis locations on the build plane. A positioning subsystem positions the optics subsystem at a selected location relative to the build plane, where the selected location is chosen to optimize focusing of the polymerizing optical signal at a specific, selected X/Y location on the build plane.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 26, 2022Publication date: October 27, 2022Inventors: Bryan D. MORAN, Brian J. BAUMAN

Publication number: 20220339883Abstract: Provided herein is a system for producing a product. The system generally comprises a large-area micro-stereolithography system, an optical imaging system, and a controller in communication with the large-area micro-stereolithography system and the optical imaging system. The large-area micro-stereolithography system is capable of generating the product by optically polymerizing successive layers of a curable resin at a build plane. The controller is capable of analyzing a focus level of the reference target based on the captured image; and based on the analyzing, adjusting a focus property of the projected image beam of the stereolithography system.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 26, 2022Publication date: October 27, 2022Inventors: Bryan D. MORAN, Brian J. BAUMAN, Matthew Kenneth GELBER, Jordan MILLER

Publication number: 20190204593Abstract: Optical design systems perturb an optical design candidate to analyze the as-built performance of the optical design candidate. The optical design candidate can be perturbed by changing the values associated with tolerances and compensators. In an exemplary embodiment, the perturbations of the optical design candidate can include double Zernikes that allow the performance degradation of a perturbed optical design candidate to be calculated with a matrix multiplication using paraxial quantities rather than by iteration involving additional tracing of large set of rays.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 2, 2018Publication date: July 4, 2019Inventors: Brian J. Bauman, Michael D. Schneider

Patent number: 9720223Abstract: The telescopes described are configured in an integrated telescope package by permanently fixing optical components of the telescope at predefined positions without having movable or adjustable components in the optical layout of the telescope to improve immunity to vibrations and other perturbations and to maintain stability of the optical alignment.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2014Date of Patent: August 1, 2017Assignee: Lawrence Livermore National Security, LLCInventors: Vincent J. Riot, Brian J. Bauman, Darrell Carter, Willem H. De Vries, Scot S. Olivier

Patent number: 9067693Abstract: An ephemeris refinement system includes satellites with imaging devices in earth orbit to make observations of space-based objects (“target objects”) and a ground-based controller that controls the scheduling of the satellites to make the observations of the target objects and refines orbital models of the target objects. The ground-based controller determines when the target objects of interest will be near enough to a satellite for that satellite to collect an image of the target object based on an initial orbital model for the target objects. The ground-based controller directs the schedules to be uploaded to the satellites, and the satellites make observations as scheduled and download the observations to the ground-based controller. The ground-based controller then refines the initial orbital models of the target objects based on the locations of the target objects that are derived from the observations.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2012Date of Patent: June 30, 2015Assignee: Lawrence Livermore National Security, LLCInventors: Scot S. Olivier, Alexander J. Pertica, Vincent J. Riot, Willem H. De Vries, Brian J. Bauman, Sergei Nikolaev, John R. Henderson, Donald W. Phillion

Patent number: 8995787Abstract: Reference-free compensated imaging makes an estimation of the Fourier phase of a series of images of a target. The Fourier magnitude of the series of images is obtained by dividing the power spectral density of the series of images by an estimate of the power spectral density of atmospheric turbulence from a series of scene based wave front sensor (SBWFS) measurements of the target. A high-resolution image of the target is recovered from the Fourier phase and the Fourier magnitude.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2013Date of Patent: March 31, 2015Assignee: Lawrence Livermore National Security, LLCInventors: Lisa A Poyneer, Brian J Bauman
