Method and system for bonding high fluence optics to optomechanical assemblies

Abstract

A method for binding a first optical element to a substrate is disclosed. The method may include receiving a first optical element and a substrate. The method may include positioning an indium foil between the first optical element and the substrate. The method may include securing the first optical element to the substrate to produce a pre-bonded assembly, wherein the indium foil is disposed between the first optical element and the substrate. The method may include heating the pre-bonded assembly above a melting temperature of the indium foil. The method may include cooling the pre-bonded assembly. The method may include releasing the pre-bonded assembly, wherein releasing the pre-bonded assembly releases a bonded structure.
