Description
With light signals in optical waveguides, very large amounts of data can be transmitted quickly and largely without interference. In the industrial and infrastructural sectors, e.g. in the automotive and aviation industries, demand is therefore increasing to further exploit this potential. What must development processes look like in order to integrate systems that transmit data by means of light? This is a central question for current research. So far, there is no modelling approach for the design of optomechatronic assemblies. The integration of optoelectronic components is an enormous challenge, since optical functions must be modelled in addition to the differences in the design procedures for mechatronic assemblies.
This thesis deals with the conceptual design of a system for the computeraided development of optomechatronic assemblies, so-called 3D opto-MIDs. The aim of the work is to represent the interaction of the domains mechanics, electronics and optics in a holistic product development process. For this purpose, tasks such as the integration of electrical circuits as well as functionalities for the design of optical networks must be covered. For this purpose, it is first necessary to identify relevant sub-aspects and components to be realised in such a system. From these findings, a concept is developed of how the procedural flow of a corresponding system can look. By means of a prototypical implementation, a procedure for the design of the optomechatronic construction system is finally derived and evaluated.
