Optomechanical design is the subdiscipline of optical design that focuses on integrating optical components into the mechanical structures that hold or move them while minimizing the impact of structural, dynamic, and thermal loads on optical performance. How do you pick your starting point? Do not forget to include stray light analyses in the design process also! 2. Fabrication and. Opto-Mechanical Systems Design, Fourth Edition is different in many ways from its three earlier editions: coauthor Daniel Vukobratovich has brought his broad expertise in materials, opto-mechanical design, analysis of optical instruments, large mirrors, and structures to bear throughout the book;. In an opto-mechanical design we work on the positioning of optical elements such as lenses, filters, beamsplitters, reflectors, and diffractive elements in mechanical structures that will allow the optical system to perform correctly. Different classes of components respond differently, for.
