About this title

Synopsis:

Rewritten and updated, this text provides information on opto-mechanical systems design guidelines and their day-to-day applications in real environments. It emphasizes proven techniques for accomplishing design tasks and outlines techniques for mounting various optical elements and groupings.

Review:

"This is a great starting point and reference tool for engineers coming into this field. ...it gives a concise review of metal mirrors identifying the key design and manufacturing practices that have been developed across the industry through the past two decades. The extensive list of references provides original source data for further reading on any topic."
―Dr. Alan R. Hedges, II-VI Incorporated

"... [the previous edition] is my go-to reference for all things optomechanics, so I anticipate the new edition will get just as much use. ... The large number of illustrations, real-world examples, material property data, and additional references make this an excellent resource for any practicing optomechanical engineer."
―Katie Schwertz, Edmund Optics

"... main strength of this book is very comprehensive coverage of the key optomechanical design concepts and analytical methods that can be applied directly in the design and development of simple to very complex optical system. The information is easy to understand and therefore easy to customize and apply to new optical systems or instruments being developed. It is rare to find such a wealth of knowledge about many related topics in a single book."
―Anees Ahmad, Raytheon Missile Systems & College of Optical Sciences, University of Arizona, Tucson, USA

"... an industry standard in the field of Opto-mechanical design for many years. A must for mechanical engineers involved in mounting and design of high acuity optical systems."
―John Pepi, L-3 Communications SSG

"... a great reference book which covers many interesting topics and technologies which are practical and applicable to high precision optical systems."
―Myung Cho, National Optical Astronomy Observatory (NOAO)

"... probably the most comprehensive, detailed, and up-to-date text on opto-mechanics."
Professor Nathan Kopeika
