ABSTRACT:
An optical component mounting device and method is disclosed where the optical components are disposed within a thin-walled tube and the tube is configured to produce an interference fit within the cylindrical opening of a mounting sleeve. The optical components are secured to the tube such that their optical axes coincide with the tube longitudinal axis. Mating of the optical mounting assembly to external reference surfaces precisely locates and aligns the optical axes with respect to an external reference axis. The optical mounting assembly provides at least two degrees of freedom to the optical components for facilitating alignment.
