ABSTRACT:
Kinematic mounting of an optical mirror cube in an athermal system is obtained wherein the optical mirror cube has a mounting post extending from a support surface thereon. The mirror cube also has an optical surface and a registration surface. A mounting pedestal extends from a structural surface upon which the mirror cube is fastened. The mounting pedestal has a mounting bore formed therein passing through a pedestal support surface for contacting the mirror cube support surface. The bore is formed to loosely receive the mounting post and a pedestal registration surface is provided for matching the mirror cube registration surface. The pedestal has a pair of lateral bores therethrough formed to intersect the mounting bore at substantially right angles. The mounting post has a pair of lateral bores therethrough with axes aligned with the lateral pedestal bores. A filler material having desirable compression strength qualities is disposed between the mounting bore and the mounting post extending into the lateral bores, and is cured while the pedestal and mirror cube registration surfaces are in contact.
