ABSTRACT:
An optical assembly comprising an optical element and a transducer is suspended within an enclosure so that the optical assembly is free to vibrate within the enclosure. In one embodiment, the mechanisms for suspending the assembly do away with any elastomeric material that would cause outgassing in applications where the photoelastic modulator is used in a high vacuum environment. The suspension system also increases the efficiency of the system.
