Optomechanics can refer to:

  • the sub-field of physics involving the study of the interaction of electromagnetic radiation (photons) with mechanical systems via radiation pressure (also see cavity optomechanics) or
  • the manufacture and maintenance of optical parts and devices.
  • This second definition includes:

  • production of optomechanical parts, such as
  • mirror mounts
  • optical mounts
  • translation stages
  • rotary and kinematic stages
  • fiber aligners
  • rails
  • pedestals and posts
  • micrometers, screws and screw sets
  • design and packaging of compact and rugged optical trains
  • optomechanical design and integration with exterior package
  • manufacture and maintenance of fiber optic materials
