ABSTRACT:
An assembly for mounting at least one optical fiber including a mounting frame defining a passageway therethrough. A fiber assembly plate generally defines a plane generally perpendicular to an axis of the at least one optical fiber and has a perimeter. The fiber assembly plate receives the at least one optical fiber. A mounting mechanism is disposed at a fixed location on the mounting frame and supports the fiber assembly plate over the at least one passageway. The mounting mechanism allows generally planar thermal expansion and/or contraction of the fiber assembly plate. A method of positioning at least one optical fiber in optical communication with an optical component using an athermal mount is also disclosed herein.
