The Optomechanical Constraint Equations: Theory and Applications

This is an engineering treatise for mechanical engineers who design and analyze optical systems. It will also be of interest to other professionals working in the optics industry. The treatise is based on both the physical science and the practical realities of designing, analyzing, building, testing, and servicing real optical products.
“An important contribution to the field, this book provides engineers valuable insight into the governing parameters of optomechanical design that develop an engineer’s intuition and lead to superior design solutions.”
 - Dr. Keith Doyle, MIT Lincoln Lab; Author, Integrated Optomechanical Analysis
“This book prepares the mechanical engineer to understand the importance of rigorous control of optical component location and orientation. Many figures clarify the appropriate analyses. I commend the author for his excellent presentation of the topic.”
 - Paul Yoder, Author of numerous books, including Optical System Design, Field Guide to Binoculars and Scopes, Mounting Optics in Optical Instruments, Design and Mounting of Prisms and Small Mirrors in Optical Instruments, and Mounting Lenses in Optical Instruments
