Abstract
In an improved approach to mounting optical elements in a fiber optic device, the positioning and orientation of the element are more accurate and the temperature dependent variations of the position and orientation are reduced. The mount has a protruding tip contact region on a mounting surface. Adhesive is supplied between the optical element and the mounting surface, and the optical element is pressed into contact with the protruding contact tip region, substantially expelling the adhesive from between the optical element and the protruding contact tip region. The adhesive is cured at a temperature exceeding the predetermined temperature range. This permits the adhesive to pull the element on to the contact tip region throughout the operating temperature range. This also permits the optical element to contact the mounting surface so that the optical element's surface is oriented parallel to the mounting plane.
