Opto-Mechanical Design of ShaneAO: the Adaptive Optics System for the 3-meter Shane Telescope
Christopher Ratliff,Jerry Cabak,Donald Gavel,Renate Kupke,Daren Dillon,Elinor L. Gates,William Deich,Jim Ward,David Cowley,Terry Pfister,Mike Saylor +10 more
TL;DR: In this article, a Cassegrain mounted adaptive optics instrument presents unique challenges for opto-mechanical design, such as the flexure and temperature tolerances for stability are tighter than those of seeing limited instruments.

Opto-mechanical design of ShaneAO: the adaptive optics system for the 3-meter Shane Telescope
Christopher Ratliff,Jerry Cabak,Donald Gavel,Renate Kupke,Daren Dillon,Elinor L. Gates,William Deich,Jim Ward,David Cowley,Terry Pfister,Mike Saylor +10 more
TL;DR: This paper addresses the mechanical designs developed to meet the optical functional requirements and looks at several cases where deformation is predicted with finite element analysis and Hertzian deformation analysis and also tested.
