In Field Guide to Optical Fabrication, Ray Williamson distills the extensive knowledge gained from his long career - ranging from his work at the Optical Sciences Center at the University of Arizona to positions at Spectra-Physics, Coherent, and Los Alamos National Lab - into a ready reference for anyone needing to understand optical fabrication.
This Field Guide is a concise reference explaining:
* What every designer should know about fabrication before making final design choices
* How to specify components before they are ordered
* The details of conventional, alternative, and emerging fabrication methods
* How an optical manufacturer plans the work, evaluates product, and the calculations involved
