This Tutorial Text is intended for practitioners in the fields of optical engineering and optomechanical design. It provides a comprehensive examination of the different ways in which lenses typically are mounted in optical instruments, of the advantages and disadvantages of various mounting arrangements, and of the analytical tools that can be used to evaluate and compare different designs. Each section contains an illustrated discussion of the technology involved and one or more practical examples, where feasible.
 Contents: - Introduction - Attributes of the Successful Lens-to-Mount Interface - Individual Component Mounting Techniques - Multiple-Component Assemblies - Estimation of Axial Stress in Lenses - Estimation of Radial Stress in Lenses - Descriptions of Hardware Examples - Appendix A. Pertinent Unit Conversion Factors - Appendix B. Selected Mechanical Properties of Materials - Appendix C. Derivation of an Equation for Temperature Sensitivity Factor K3 for a Single Lens Element - Appendix D. Derivation of an Equation for Temperature Sensitivity Factor K3 for a Cemented Doublet Lens

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.

Daniel Vukobratovich

Entirely updated to cover the latest technology, this Second Edition gives optical designers and optomechanical engineers a thorough understanding of the principal ways in which optical components--lenses, windows, filters, shells, domes, prisms, and mirrors of all sizes--are mounted in optical instruments. Along with new information on tolerancing, sealing considerations, elastomeric mountings, alignment, stress estimation, and temperature control, two new chapters address the mounting of metallic mirrors and the alignment of reflective and catadioptric systems.
