Description

This Tutorial Text examines the various ways in which prisms and small mirrors typically are designed and mounted in optical instruments. It provides analytical tools for evaluating different designs and discusses advantages and disadvantages of various techniques. The book, in part, is an outgrowth of SPIE short courses taught by the author and is a companion to his 1995 volume, ''Mounting Lenses in Optical Instruments'' (SPIE PRESS Vol. TT21). The book is intended for engineers, designers, technicians, and other practitioners in the fields of optical engineering and optomechanical design.Contents - Preface - Introduction - Attributes of the Successful Optic-to-Mount Interface - Prism Design - Prism Mounting Techniques - Estimation of Contact Stresses in Prisms - Small Mirror Design - Small Mirror Mounting Techniques - Estimation of Contact Stresses in Small Mirrors - Descriptions of Hardware Examples - Appendix A: Pertinent Unit Conversion Factors - Appendix B: Extreme Service Environments - Appendix B2: Vibration Power Spectral Densities - Appendix C: Selected Mechanical Properties of Materials - References - Index Read more

  • One of the best books on this subject from an expert in the field.
Paul Yoder is an expert in the field of optomechanical system especially in the area of mounting optical components. I have had the fortunate circumstance of having attended his SPIE short course where he presents the materials covered in this book. In both his class and his book he presents extremely useful information regarding the various ways one can mount a particular optical component, why one may choose one method and not another, how the mounting method affects the optic. He describes this in both a conceptual manner and analytically with example problems - usually from real world applications. Furthermore, he presents this kind of information for a wide range of optical components and scenarios. ... show more
