This is due, in part, to recent advancements in the degree of sophistication of analytical techniques for evaluating mechanical structures and the optic-to-mount interface, to the availability of new and improved materials, and to more complete information on the mechanical properties of existing materials.
Through this revised and expanded version of Opto-Mechanical Systems Design (1993), I have attempted to bring as much of this new technology as is reasonably possible into the context ...
