The purpose of this study is to examine an optimal configuration of optical bottle beam generation. The proposed bottle beam is generated by casting a laser beam through an elliptical aperture and then through an axicon optical system. Simulation is performed by using multiphysics-capable wavefront technique, and the distance between the axicon and the focus lens can be adjusted. Two-dimensional Poincaré maps are employed to show the distribution of light. By combining Poincaré maps and expected position of the bottle beam, the relationship between the beam intensity and range is obtained. The simulated results can act as a reference for positioning optical components and expecting the effective zone of the bottle beam.

The digital fringe projection microscope has been investigated and used to estimate three-dimensional shape of micro-scale connector for advanced manufacturing system. This measurement system consists of digital projector, optical lenses, stereo microscope, and digital camera. In the software, the imaging program based on including black and white structure light, seven-step phase-shifting calculation, and path-independent phase unwrapping is well developed. The imaging results indicate that the three-dimensional shape of micro-scale connector is acquired by using this measurement system. The optical resolution of this measurement system is 3 μm and the measurement speed is 0.6 s. This measurement system has excellent performance including easy operation, fast measurement speed and high resolution. This measurement system can be applied to real-time three-dimensional shape detection in product processing of micro-scale connector.
