Method for alignment of optical components using laser welding

摘要

A method for aligning optical components includes positioning a flexure having an attached first optical component with respect to a substrate having a second optical component attached thereto. The flexure has at least two legs, and each leg has a foot portion. The method further includes coupling at least one leg of the two legs to the substrate at a point of contact between the foot portion of the at least one leg and the substrate. The method further includes adjusting the alignment of the optical components by spot welding a location on the leg. Spot welding on the substrate may also be used to adjust the alignment of the optical components.
