5 Considerations For The Mechanical Design, Assembly, And Alignment Of Optical Systems

By Edmund Optics

When constructing optical systems, designers typically use ray tracing software. Using this type of software can be challenging as it presents a system that is essentially "floating on air." In order to save significant time, lower costs, and decrease the future need to redesign components, it is important to consider certain factors in the mechanical design, assembly, and alignment of a system during the optical design stages.
