Abstract
An optical device is provided which includes a plurality of optical modules. Each optical module includes an optical component fixedly coupled to a relative reference mount. The relative reference mount is configured to attach to a substrate. A plurality of optical modules mount on the substrate to form the optical device.
Claims71
An optical device, comprising:
- a substrate having a first registration feature and a second registration feature;
- a first optical module comprising:
- an optical component;
- a relative reference mount including a registration feature configured to align with the first registration feature of the substrate, the optical component held at a prealigned spacial orientation relative to the registration feature;
- and
- a second optical module, comprising:
- an optical component;
- and
- a relative reference mount including a registration feature configured to align with the second registration feature of the substrate, the optical component held at a prealigned spacial orientation relative to the registration feature.
