Optical alignment is a research area that focuses on the precise positioning and alignment of optical components to ensure optimal performance of optical systems. This includes aligning lenses, mirrors, filters, and other components to achieve desired optical properties such as focus, resolution, and image quality. Optical alignment is crucial in various applications such as imaging systems, laser systems, communication systems, and measurement instruments. Researchers in this field develop techniques and strategies for accurately aligning optical components, as well as methods for testing and verifying the alignment of optical systems. The goal of optical alignment research is to improve the performance and reliability of optical systems for a wide range of applications.
