ABSTRACT:
A prism coupling mount is provided for readily substituting various prisms and planar slab waveguides therein without damage to these components. For maximum coupling efficiency, the spacing between the coupling prism base and the waveguide can be adjusted, along with the mode selection angle and the prism surface incident tilt angle. A rotatable support stage supports the prism coupling mount and the center of rotation thereof is adjustable to ensure that it lies directly beneath the prism input surface.
