An adhesive system for securing optical elements to a housing or substrate in an aligned position that is maintained over widely varying environmental conditions. A fiber optic device (106, 108) is constructed such that applied adhesive (302, 304) is not disposed between a fiber optic element (106, 108) and the housing (102) of the fiber optic device (106, 108), but is disposed on longitudinal seams (112) defined by the portion of the element proximal a side of the housing or substrate (102). In one embodiment, the adhesive (302, 304) has a filler, such as amorphous silica. A method of making includes aligning, applying adhesive (302, 304), and curing adhesive (302, 304). |
