Abstract:
A system includes a dome-shaped optical component having a substantially circular edge and a mounting base for the optical component. A recess is in an outer surface of the optical component. A projection on an inner surface of the mounting base and is configured to engage the recess. An adhesive material is between the optical component and the mounting base. The adhesive material forms an upper band and a lower band with a void between the upper band and the lower band. The void is positioned relative to the recess in the outer surface of the optical component such that a bending stress in the optical component at the recess is less than what the bending stress would be without the void. A heater is inside and thermally coupled to the optical component.

Claim (Index 20):
A method comprising:\n providing an optical component having a perimeter that comprises a substantially circular edge region, and a recess in an outwardly-facing surface of the optical component; providing a mounting base for the optical component, wherein the mounting base has a projection on an inwardly-facing surface of the mounting base, wherein the projection is configured to engage the recess to hold the optical component and the mounting base together; attaching the optical component to the mounting base; and providing an adhesive material in a joint extending around a perimeter between the optical component and the mounting base, wherein the adhesive material forms an upper band and a base band with a void at least partially extending around the perimeter between the upper band and the base band, and wherein the perimeter comprises a substantially circular edge region of the optical component.
