ABSTRACT:
A silicon optical bench arrangement is used to provide for proper angular orientation between various components of an optical subassembly. A set of "optical stops" comprising alignment spheres held in pyramidal detents are formed in predetermined locations across the surface of an optical substrate. The separate optical components are positioned adjacent to the optical stops and subsequently held in place by bonding or other attachment means. By properly positioning the optical stops with respect to one another, any desired orientation between the optical components can be achieved.
