ABSTRACT:
A mount for attaching an optical element to a rotating shaft combines a first portion which bears the optical element and is sufficiently rigid to limit dynamic distortion of the optical element, a clamp portion spaced axially from the first portion for clamping the mount to the shaft using a force which causes mechanical distortion in the clamp portion, and a strain decoupling means connecting the first portion to the clamp portion and configured to transmit rotation of the shaft faithfully to the element, while isolating the mechanical distortion in the clamp portion from being transmitted axially to the first portion.
