Abstract
In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, a device including a first optical table, a second optical table, and at least one optical mount coupled to the first and second optical tables and configured to support at least one optical component. The first optical table is positioned on a first plane, while the second optical table is positioned on a second plane that is different from the first plane.
Claims33
A device, comprising:
- a first optical table positioned on a first plane;
- a second optical table positioned on a second plane, the second plane differing from the first plane, the second plane intersecting the first plane;
- and
- at least one optical mount coupled to the first and second optical tables and configured to support at least one optical component.
1 more element
A device, comprising:
- a first optical table positioned on a first plane and having a first mounting surface positioned thereon;
- a second optical table positioned on a second plane differing from the first plane, the first plane being orthogonal to the second plane, the second optical table having a second mounting surface positioned proximate to the first mounting surface of the first optical table;
- and
- at least one optical mount coupled to the first and second mounting surfaces and configured to support at least one optical component thereon.
1 more element
A device comprising:
- a first mount device having a first mount body extending from a first base configured to be coupled to a first optical table, the first mount body defining a first optic receiver orifice;
- and
- a second mount device having a second mount body extending from a second base configured to be coupled to a second optical table, the second mount body defining a second optic receiver orifice, the second mount device configured to engage the first mount device to form an optical mount capable of supporting one or more optical components,
- wherein at least one of the first and second optical tables comprises a composite construction design having a core material positioned between a first and second surface.
1 more element
A device, comprising:
- a first mounting flange configured to couple to a first optical table;
- a second mounting flange configured to couple to a second optical table;
- a mount body positioned between and coupled to the first and second mounting flanges;
- and
- at least one optical component mount movably coupled to the mount body and configured to support at least one optical component thereon, the optical component mount being horizontally and vertically movable in relation to the first and second optical tables.
2 more elements
A method, comprising:
- positioning a first optical table on a first plane;
- positioning a second optical table on a second plane wherein the second plane differs from the first plane, the second plane being orthogonal to the first plane;
- securing a first portion of an optical component mount to a first optical table;
- securing a second portion of an optical component mount to a second optical table wherein the first and second portions of the optical mounts form an optical component mount system;
- and
- coupling at least one optical component to the optical component mount system.
