Optomechanics
Optomechanics can refer to:
- the sub-field of physics involving the study of the interaction of electromagnetic radiation (photons) with mechanical systems via radiation pressure (also see cavity optomechanics)[1][2] or
- the manufacture and maintenance of optical parts and devices.
This second definition includes:[3]
- production of optomechanical parts, such as
- mirror mounts
- optical mounts
- translation stages
- rotary and kinematic stages
- fiber aligners
- rails
- pedestals and posts
- micrometers, screws and screw sets
- design and packaging of compact and rugged optical trains file:[4]
- optomechanical design and integration with exterior package
- manufacture and maintenance of fiber optic materials
