Patent ID: 8773784

Claim:
A mounting system for mounting a plurality of optical components within an optical system comprising; a first optical component having one or more optically functional surfaces, a second optical component having one or more optically functional surfaces, an optical mount having a body, each of the first and second optical components including an optical zone containing the one or more optically functional surfaces and a mounting zone containing a land and a peripheral surface, the body of the optical mount including an aperture aligned with the one or more optically functional surfaces of the first and second optical components and an interior surface surrounding the peripheral surfaces of the mounting zones of the first and second optical components, the mounting zone of the first optical component including a seat for engaging the land of the mounting zone of the second optical component, and a rotational interface formed between the land of the mounting zone of the second optical component and the seat of the mounting zone of the first optical component defining an arcuate path of motion for second optical component with respect to the first optical component about a center of curvature.
