2. Boundary conditions
2.1. Waveguides and thin film substrate
Fig. 1 shows a schematic cross-section of the printed waveguide. The
carrier (grey section) is a mechanical part, which carries a thin film
substrate. The two bridge structures (green) are used to keep the
waveguide itself (red) in a straight path. Over the structure a
cladding material is printed to enable total internal reflection.

structure for possible features can be seen in Fig. 4. The figure shows
functions like project
management (saving, loading, and creating new projects), as well as
buttons for the creation of optical circuits like the placement of optical
parts, defining keep out areas or interconnecting and exporting
waveguides into a simulation program. The use of the program is
defined through the procedure as it is described in conceptual method.
(ECAD) systems, which works with special data formats with .brd, .emf
or idx extensions. These formats usually offer interoperability concerning
the mechanical placement. However design rules, automatic routing as
well as logical and technological information about the circuit and impact
on mechanical parts, like keep-out areas, cannot be defined in the same
system. Despite systems like NX offer opportunities to define such
areas, the connection to the ECAD systems is not working completely
consistently. The different versions of ECAD and MCAD files have to be
synchronized continuously to validate changes in design. To overcome
such problems for the spatial optical design, customized libraries for the
parts and couplers were created for OPTAVER. These are in interaction
with the interconnection procedures. A preview of an implemented part
library in Autodesk Inventor can be seen in Fig. 5. The database is
based on Microsoft Access and is connected to a physical file system,
which provides CAD-parts of optical components.
The designer receives information about package, typical properties like
active areas, wavelength range, or type identifications.
5. Conclusions
This paper has described a method for designing 3D-opto-MID
assemblies with focus on creating an own design and simulation system
for validation of the devices. It shows the feasibility of the procedure as
well as the re-importing of the simulation results, design rule checks or
further spatial surface types which have to be implemented. Also the
definition of optical parameters has to be set more in focus after the
realization of the mentioned points. To sum it up, the approach has a
promising outlook for a future method, supported by a novel software
tool for designing spatial opto-mechatronic devices. Future plans for the
project are to validate the design on real printed waveguides and to
integrate CAM functionality to automatically generate NC data for
Aerosol Jet Printing to generate a fully integrated CAD-CAM chain to
reduce the engineering effort.

(Rezumat)
Aceast lucrare a descris o metod pentru proiectarea ansamblurilor
3D-opto-MID cu accent pe crearea unui sistem de proiectare i de
simulare proprii pentru validarea dispozitivelor. Acesta arat fezabilitatea
procedurii, precum i reimportai rezultatelor simulrii, controalele regula
de proiectare sau mai multe tipuri de suprafa spaial care trebuie
puse n aplicare. De asemenea, definirea parametrilor optici trebuie
setat mai mult n centrul ateniei dup realizarea punctelor menionate.
Pentru a rezuma, abordarea are o perspectiv promitoare pentru o
metod viitoare, susinut de un instrument software nou pentru
proiectarea dispozitivelor opto mecatronic spaiale. Planurile de viitor
pentru proiect sunt de a valida proiectarea pe waveguides reale
imprimate i pentru a integra funcionalitatea CAM pentru a genera
automat date NC pentru aerosoli cu jet de imprimare pentru a genera un
lan complet integrat CAD-CAM pentru a reduce efortul de inginerie.
