INTERLOCKING CERAMIC AND OPTICAL MEMBERS

摘要

Interlocking first member and optical members and methods of their manufacture. A component formed from an interlocking first member and optical member, where the first member includes a recess formed within a surface and the optical member is disposed in the recess. The recess of the first member may include a recess geometry and the optical member may include a member geometry that may correspond to the recess geometry. Additionally, the interlocking component formed from the first member and optical member may be formed by a coupling process. The coupling process may include sintering the first member and the optical member, bonding the optical member to the first member or providing a compression-load or fit between the first member and the optical member.

1. A component comprising:
a first member having a recess formed within a surface, wherein the recess has a recess geometry; and an optical member disposed in the recess, the optical member having a member geometry, and wherein the recess geometry of the first member and the member geometry of the optical member mechanically interlock as a result of a coupling process.
