ABSTRACT:
A fixture for angularly aligning an optical device. A monolithic structure is provided having a first adjustment member for holding an optical device and tilting the device in one direction, a second adjustment member attached to the first adjustment member for tilting the optical device in a direction orthogonal to the direction of tilt provided by the first adjustment member, and a base for holding the first and second adjustment members. The first adjustment member is attached to the second adjustment member by a flexible connection having a tilt axis in a first lateral direction and the second adjustment member is attached to the base by a connection having a tilt axis in a lateral direction orthogonal to the lateral direction of the first connection. Tilting of the first adjustment member with respect to the second adjustment member is accomplished by squeezing the first adjustment member toward the second adjustment member near the edges thereof or by pulling the first adjustment member away from the second adjustment member near the edges thereof. Tilting of the second adjustment member with respect to the base is accomplished in a similar manner. Preferably, the first and second adjustment members and the base are formed by cutting lateral slots partially through a cylindrical, monolithic member, the remaining portion of the monolithic member forming the flexible connection.
