Hi,

I'm an undergrad looking to do some work in a lab specializing in optomechanics. I don't know a whole lot about the subject though. Could the nice folks at PF suggests some texts/textbooks/papers etc. that can help me become acquainted with optomechanics?

Much thanks.

"optomechanics", to me, refers to lens/mirror mounting and positioning- is this what you mean?
 


No, I mean cavity optomechanics -- sorry for not clarifying.
