Optical device including carrier and miniature holder for optics, e.g. laser with collimator, has specific surface connecting arrangement allowing precise positioning and stable fixing

摘要

In an optical device (1) with an optical component (4), optic carrier (3) and miniature optic holder (2), (a) a carrier-side connection is formed between the carrier supporting surface (30) and the holder carrier-side mounting surface (23), (b) an optic-side connection is formed between a holder optic-side mounting surface (24) (at an angle to the carrier-side mounting surface) and the component fixing surface (40) and (c) (a) and/or (b) is a shape-fitted thin-layer connection. An independent claim is included for the production of the device, by: (A) positioning the holder (2) using a first retaining device, so that the carrier-side mounting surface (23) faces the supporting surface (30) of the carrier (3); (B) positioning the component (4) using a second retaining device, so that the fixing surface (40) faces the optic-side mounting surface (24) of the carrier and the component (4) is movable in three spatial directions relative to the carrier; (C) orienting the component relative to the carrier, so that the holder and component are displaceable in a first direction along the carrier supporting surface and the component is displaceable in a second direction along the holder optic-side mounting surface relative to the holder; (D) forming a carrier-side connection between the carrier supporting surface and the holder carrier-side mounting surface and an optic-side connection between the holder-optic side mounting surface and the component fixing surface; and (E) releasing the first and second retaining devices from the holder and component.
