The IDG has considerable expertise in optomechanical engineering. We develop optomechanical systems for visible, IR, UV, and neutron optics.

Design and analysis capabilites:

	Membrane flexure for the SDSS spectrograph collimating mirror The f/4 collimator in the SDSS multi-object spectrograph is supported by a membrane flexure. IDG designed and tested this flexure as part of the spectrograph development effort. [more]
	SDSS spectrograph blue channel camera This camera was designed and built by the IDG for the SDSS spectrographs. The camera lens assembly consists of three athermal cells: a singlet, a triplet, and a doublet. The multiplets are coupled via optical grease. [more]
	FUSE collimator assembly The IDG designed and built the optical end-to-end test system for the FUSE program. The system consists of four coaligned cassegrain collimators integrated in a single optical bench. It was used to verify the optical performance of FUSE in thermal-vac prior to launch. [more]
