Abstract

This paper describes the preliminary optomechanical design and analysis of the Gemini Adaptive Optics Bench being built by EOS Technologies, Inc. The overall optical arrangement is described, the optical tolerances are discussed, and an overview of the optomechanical packaging is provided. Emphasis is placed on integrated modeling of the optomechanical system to predict the effect of mechanical deformation on optical performance
