    Technology selection for inline topography measurement with rover-borne laser spectrometers
    (2024) Ryan, Conor; Haist, Tobias; Laskin, Gennadii; Schröder, Susanne; Reichelt, Stephan
    This work studies enhancing the capabilities of compact laser spectroscopes integrated into space-exploration rovers by adding 3D topography measurement techniques. Laser spectroscopy enables the in situ analysis of sample composition, aiding in the understanding of the geological history of extraterrestrial bodies. To complement spectroscopic data, the inclusion of 3D imaging is proposed to provide unprecedented contextual information. The morphological information aids material characterization and hence the constraining of rock and mineral histories. Assigning height information to lateral pixels creates topographies, which offer a more complete spatial dataset than contextual 2D imaging. To aid the integration of 3D measurement into future proposals for rover-based laser spectrometers, the relevant scientific, rover, and sample constraints are outlined. The candidate 3D technologies are discussed, and estimates of performance, weight, and power consumptions guide the down-selection process in three application examples. Technology choice is discussed from different perspectives. Inline microscopic fringe-projection profilometry, incoherent digital holography, and multiwavelength digital holography are found to be promising candidates for further development.

    Generation of a radially polarized beam in a polycrystalline ceramic Yb:Lu2O3 thin-disk laser
    (2023) Didychenko, Denys; Esser, Stefan; Beirow, Frieder; Savchenko, Anton; Pruss, Christof; Graf, Thomas; Abdou Ahmed, Marwan
    AbstractWe report on the generation of a continuous-wave (CW) radially polarized beam with an Yb:Lu2O3 polycrystalline ceramic disk in a thin-disk laser (TDL) oscillator. A circular grating-waveguide mirror (CGWM) with a high polarization discrimination given by a reflectivity difference between the two orthogonal polarization states of 44.6% was used as a polarization-selective cavity end-mirror. An output power of 175 W was achieved with an optical efficiency of 39.6%. A high degree of radial polarization of 96.2% and a beam propagation factor of M2hor. = 2.05 and M2ver. = 2.32 were measured at the maximum output power.

    Injection molding of encapsulated diffractive optical elements
    (2023) Wagner, Stefan; Treptow, Kevin; Weser, Sascha; Drexler, Marc; Sahakalkan, Serhat; Eberhardt, Wolfgang; Guenther, Thomas; Pruss, Christof; Herkommer, Alois; Zimmermann, André
    Microstructuring techniques, such as laser direct writing, enable the integration of microstructures into conventional polymer lens systems and may be used to generate advanced functionality. Hybrid polymer lenses combining multiple functions such as diffraction and refraction in a single component become possible. In this paper, a process chain to enable encapsulated and aligned optical systems with advanced functionality in a cost-efficient way is presented. Within a surface diameter of 30 mm, diffractive optical microstructures are integrated in an optical system based on two conventional polymer lenses. To ensure precise alignment between the lens surfaces and the microstructure, resist-coated ultra-precision-turned brass substrates are structured via laser direct writing, and the resulting master structures with a height of less than 0.002 mm are replicated into metallic nickel plates via electroforming. The functionality of the lens system is demonstrated through the production of a zero refractive element. This approach provides a cost-efficient and highly accurate method for producing complicated optical systems with integrated alignment and advanced functionality.
