Abstract

A light source module for generating collimated laser light wherein a solid-state laser light source is mounted within the bore of an optical mounting tube at a preselected distance from the light output end of the tube, and a convergent glass lens within a metal lens mounting is permanently attached to the output end of the tube, lens attachment being at a location insuring permanent and accurate alignment of the collimated light output from the laser with the bore axis of the mounting tube, and a method for making it, are described.
