ATTACHING OPTICAL COMPONENTS USING HOMOGENIZED LASER LIGHT

摘要

An attachable optical component is aligned with a base optical component. The attachable optical component has a mounting surface interfacing with the base optical component and an exposed surface opposed to the mounting surface. Laser light is directed to the exposed surface of the attachable optical component for delivery to the mounting surface. The attachable optical component guides and homogenizes the laser light delivered to the mounting surface and uniformly heats a bonding feature between the mounting surface and the base optical component. The directing and subsequent removing of the laser light bonds the attachable optical component to the base optical component via the bonding feature

主权项

1. An apparatus, comprising:
a base optical component comprising a bonding region; a bonding feature proximate the bonding region; and an attachable optical component having a mounting surface facing the bonding feature and an exposed surface, wherein the attachable optical component comprises a laser beam homogenizer and a reflector between the exposed surface and bonding surface such that laser light directed to the exposed surface is directed via the laser beam homogenizer to uniformly heat the bonding feature to bond the attachable optical component to the base optical component.
