Abstract

A structural optimization framework integrating the receptance method (RM) is developed to enhance the dynamic stability of a plane-grating monochromator (PGM). Three vertical geometric dimensions are selected as physically interpretable design variables. The plane-mirror angular vibration under ambient ground excitation is minimized directly in the geometric design space, so resonance and antiresonance features are modified implicitly, without prescribing modal targets. The meta-model of optimal prognosis (MOP) surrogates, selected using the coefficient of prognosis (CoP), enables global sensitivity analysis (SA) and surrogate-assisted multi-objective evolutionary optimization with a limited number of finite element (FE) evaluations. The SA identifies D2 as the dominant driver of the mirror angular response, with D3 providing secondary tuning and D1 remaining nearly neutral within the investigated range. In the FE simulations, the optimized geometry reduces the peak angular vibration by 19.8% and the root mean square (RMS) angular vibration by 37.5%. Under identical ground microvibration excitations, laser Doppler vibrometer (LDV) measurements show a 22.8% reduction in the RMS. Receptance comparisons further confirm suppressed resonance peaks and a lower high-frequency response envelope after optimization. These results provide a practical and physically transparent method for improving the dynamic stability of complex optical systems.
