5 Considerations for the Mechanical Design, Assembly, and Alignment of Optical Systems

To expand on the tips provided in 5 Tips for Designing with Off-the-Shelf Optics, here are some important assembly items to consider when working on an optical design. Typically, optical designers use ray tracing software to construct an optical design, however, the software presents a system that is, essentially, floating in air. When you ultimately purchase and/or manufacture the optical components, you'll need a way to mount, assemble, and possibly align that system. By including considerations for mechanical design, assembly, and alignment in the optical design stages, you can save significant time and reduce the need for costly changes and component redesign later.
