Abstract
In a substrate (1) for holding a multitude of components (6.1, 6.2, 6.3, 6.4, 6.5, 6.6) of an optical laser cavity, wherein the substrate (1) comprises a multitude of slots (2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6), wherein each slot (2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6) is configured to receive one of the components (6.1, 6.2, 6.3, 6.4, 6.5, 6.6), the substrate (1) comprises a micro-positioning system (4) configured to enable a micro-positioning of at least one of the components (6.1) after this component (6.1) has been received in its corresponding slot (2.1).
Claims20
A substrate for holding a multitude of components of an optical laser cavity,
- wherein the substrate comprises a multitude of slots,
- wherein each slot is configured to receive one of the components,
- wherein the substrate comprises a micro-positioning system configured to enable a micro-positioning of at least one of the components after this component has been received in its corresponding slot.
A method for optimizing a position of a component of an optical laser cavity on a substrate, wherein the method comprises:
- a placement step, during which the component is placed in a slot of the substrate configured to receive the component,
- a micro-positioning step, during which a position of the component received in the slot is optimized by actuating a micro-positioning system of the substrate.
