Abstract:
1. An optical mount for an optical element, the optical mount comprising: a mounting plate having a mounting surface and a pivot surface opposing the mounting surface; a lever arm pivot coupled to the pivot surface; an adjustment plate having an adjustment surface and a device surface opposing the adjustment surface, wherein the device surface is operable to receive the optical element; a flexure pivot mechanically coupling the adjustment plate to the mounting plate; a lever arm disposed between the pivot surface and the adjustment surface, wherein the lever arm makes contact with the lever arm pivot at a pivot point; a first adjustment device coupled to the adjustment plate and extending from the adjustment surface to make contact with the lever arm at a first contact point, wherein a projection of a line from the first contact point to the pivot point, measured along the lever arm, is a first predetermined distance; a second adjustment device coupled to the adjustment plate and extending from the adjustment surface to make contact with the lever arm at a second contact point, wherein a projection of a line from the second contact point to the pivot point, measured along the lever arm, is a second predetermined distance greater than the first predetermined distance.
