ABSTRACT:
Apparatus and method for retaining a laser bar during a facet coating operation and releasing the laser bar subsequent to the operation. The apparatus includes a pair of opposing spacers that hold the laser bar when compressed, each spacer including a compliant spring on an inner portion thereof. A compression device applies a force to the spacers sufficient to compress the springs against opposite sides of the laser bar to thereby retain the laser bar during the facet coating operation. Subsequent to the facet coating operation, the compressive force is released to decompress the springs and thereby release the laser bar. Due to the spring action, the laser bar is released without substantially adhering to either one of the spacers.
