Abstract
A laser optical element mounting arrangement and method are disclosed wherein a laser optical element is mounted to a laser mounting support member. The mounting support member has a smooth surface to which a surface of the optical element is engaged to form a vacuum seal between the optical element and the support member. The seal is accomplished with the application of only light pressure contact between the respective surfaces at ambient temperature and without the need for a sealant.
