ABSTRACT
Building upon the success of the two prior editions, this third edition of Opto-Mechanical Systems Design (2006) updates the techniques used in opto-mechanics by emphasizing many important old and new technology developments. Most of these are discussed in depth while others are simply mentioned so readers interested in those particular topics can access the original documents for more details. Each of the 15 chapters treats its subject matter in sufficient detail for the reader to apply the technology to real-world problems. Numerical examples are employed to illustrate applications of theory and of the numerous equations provided herein. Many new references-some as recent as mid-2005-make available key advances in the opto-mechanical design of the past decade.
