Abstract
A modular, self-contained optical box is provided. The optical box has a back plate fixedly attached to a front wall. Optical sensors, such as infrared cameras, visible cameras and optical pointers, are fixedly attached to the front wall and the back plate. Distal, round ends of the optical sensors are captured by translation plates. Each translation plate is capable of moving the distal end of the optical element in two directions to or in a planar fashion to align the optical element to the optical box, or to adjust the line of sight of the optical sensors relative to the optical box, before securing the distal end of the optical element. The optical box is designed to be incorporated into a gimbal, and the front wall forms a part of an outer housing of the gimbal. In one embodiment, the optical box is rotatable about one axis relative to the gimbal.
