ABSTRACT:
A method of precisely mounting a planar optical component on a mounting member includes the step of placing a plurality of balls on the mounting member to precisely define a geometric plane. The planar optical component is then placed against each of the balls on the mounting member such that the planar optical component is along the defined geometric plane on the mounting member. In addition, the planar optical component can also be mounted on the mounting member by first forming a groove in the mounting member. An end of the planar optical component is then shaped to match that of at least one wall of the groove. The planar optical component can then be placed in the groove such that the shaped end of the planar optical component is placed against the wall of the groove.
