Opto-Mechanical Systems Design. Volume 1, Design and analysis of opto-mechanical assemblies

Description

The fourth edition of a bestseller, this book focuses on the optomechanical system design process, optomechanical structural design, parameters of concern, and characteristics of materials. It discusses mounting in detail, including the mounting of individual lenses and multiple lens assembly. It also discusses the design of windows, domes, and filters, including conventional windows, special windows, and spherical and conformal surfaces. The book covers prism designs and applications, techniques for mounting prisms, and kinematic design and applications of flexures.  Read more...
