Unitary carrier for holographic components

A holographic sight comprising:

• a base;
• an adjuster assembly coupled with the base;
• a unitary optical component carrier coupled with the base and comprising a first receptacle configured to receive a laser diode, a second receptacle configured to receive a mirror, a third receptacle configured to receive a collimating optic, a fourth receptacle configured to receive a diffraction grating, and a fifth receptacle configured to receive an image hologram,
• wherein the unitary optical component carrier comprises a single rigid body that defines the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth receptacles and that is configured to be substantially resistant to changes in relative distances between optical components received at the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth receptacles;
• and
• a support member integrally formed with the unitary optical component carrier, the support member comprising a first portion that is flexible in a horizontal direction and a second portion that is flexible in vertical direction, the unitary optical component carrier horizontally and vertically moveable relative to the support member,
• wherein, in response to a horizontal force applied to the unitary optical component carrier by the adjuster assembly, the first portion of the support member is configured to flex in the horizontal direction to angularly move the unitary optical component carrier horizontally relative to the base about the flexure of the first portion of the support member, and
• wherein, in response to a vertical force applied to the unitary optical component carrier by the adjuster assembly, the second portion of the support member is configured to flex in the vertical direction to angularly move the unitary optical component carrier vertically relative to the base about the flexure of the second portion of the support member.

A holographic sight comprising:

• a base;
• an adjuster assembly coupled with the base;
• a support member coupled with the base;
• and
• a unitary optical component carrier integrally formed with the support member and comprising a first receptacle configured to receive a laser diode, a second receptacle configured to receive an image hologram, and at least a third receptacle configured to receive at least one optical device configured to communicate light between the laser diode and the image hologram,
• wherein the unitary optical component carrier comprises a single body that defines the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth receptacles and that is configured to be substantially resistant to changes in relative distances between optical components received at the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth receptacle,
• wherein the single body of the unitary optical is formed from a metal that has a low coefficient of thermal expansion relative to other metals, and
• wherein, in response to a force applied to the unitary optical component carrier by the adjuster assembly, the support member is configured to flex to angularly move the unitary optical component carrier relative to the base about the flexure of the support member.
