Opto-mechanical engineering is a subset of
mechanical engineering that specializes in the specific mechanical
design issues surrounding optical systems. Usually optical systems have
much higher tolerances and require sub-micron tolerances and precision.
Also, glass tends to have unusual physical properties that make it
particularly difficult to design around.
Generally high performance optical systems require
both the expertise of an optical engineer and an opto-mechanical
engineer. The optical engineer focuses solely on the optical
performance of the system where the opto-mechanical engineer designs
the mounting, shutters, zoom mechanism etc. The opto-mechanical
engineers at Mechanical Engineering Professionals have a familiarity
with most optical systems and if a project requires dedicated optical
engineering, we have a network of highly skilled optical engineers we
can bring into the project.
Among the many areas Mechanical Engineering
Professions are skilled in, we are particularly adept in
opto-mechanical engineering. We have experience in laser systems,
imaging systems, photonics, holography, metrology, infrared,
spectrometry, microscope design, fiber optics and more.
