Abstract
Diamond-turning applications for the opto-mechanical assembly of multimirror systems are given. These applications are categorized into three construction types: one-piece (monolithic) systems; assemblies using radial location surfaces; and assemblies employing non-radial location surfaces. A cross-sectional schematic is used to illustrate each application. The construction types are analyzed with regard to ease of manufacture, ability to hold assembly tolerances and limitations.
