Opto-Mechanical Design Apps — Opto-mechanical design brings together the many components required to build optical, electro-optical and infrared hardware. This is the part of the engineering cycle where all design concepts are expected to be resolved into real-world components that can be either bought or built. To prepare learners who are developing, specifying, or purchasing optical, electro-optical, and infrared systems, critical components that are covered in this Opto- Mechanical Design and Applications course include the tolerancing and fabrication limitations of optical components, alignment mechanisms, and "go" or "no-go" decisions on their use. It also covers structural design as it applies to low-strain lens and mirror mounts, as well as kinematic mounts and alignment and structural vibrations under sinusoidal and random production Power Spectral Density (PSD) loads.
