Abstract
A holder for optical components includes a two-part holder housing that forms an essentially ring-shaped enclosure surrounding an optical component; in addition the two housing parts have different thermal expansion coefficients. To create a holder for optical components that is both simple in structure and ensures a low-tension and insulated enclosure of the optical component, it is proposed with the invention that one housing part should be configured as a ring that surrounds the optical component and on whose housing interior close to the optical component a groove should be configured that surrounds and encloses the optical component and serves as a receptacle for the second housing part, which is configured as a tension ring.
