Abstract
A system includes a plurality of modular subassemblies and a plate; wherein each modular subassembly comprises an enclosure and a plurality of optical components aligned to the enclosure, and each enclosure comprises a plurality of mounting structures; and wherein each modular subassembly is mechanically coupled to the plate by attachment of a mounting structure of the modular subassembly directly to a corresponding mounting structure located on the plate, such that by mechanically coupling each modular subassembly to the plate using the mounting structure of the modular subassembly and the corresponding mounting structure on the plate, adjacent modular subassemblies are aligned to each other upon such attachment, and wherein two of the modular subassemblies mechanically coupled to the plate are also attached to each other by mechanically coupling an alignment structure on one of the two modular subassemblies to a respective alignment structure on the other of the two modular subassemblies.
