"Material presented is good, and I am confident in the approach…. A handy reference for mechanical engineers and those who supervise them."— John W Pepi, L3 Technologies SSG, Wilmington, Massachusetts, USA"The second edition of Handbook of Optomechanical Engineering is very comprehensive for optical or mechanical engineers whose work is related to optomechanical design. In addition to optomechanical design principles and mounting principles for optical elements, the new contents cover optical plastics, flexure design, and tolerancing and error budget, which are very helpful for implementing precision optomechanical design nowadays. It is highly recommended to optomechanical engineers and students who are interested in optomechanical design." — Yi-Cheng Chen, National Central University, Taiwan"The contributing authors are basically a list of ‘Who’s Who’ in optomechanics. The breadth of topics covered makes it incredibly useful for all aspects of optomechanical engineering and the fact that each chapter is authored by a subject matter expert provides excellent depth. The content strikes the right balance between having enough detail to be able to put the concepts into practice, yet approachable enough to be easily understood."— Katie Schwertz, Edmund Optics, Tucson, Arizona, USA"The subject areas logically ordered and are easy accessible. The book is excellently suitable for people looking for potential solutions without being bothered by too much detail."— Jan Nijenhuis, TNO, The Netherlands
