Abstract

An optomechanical platform that provides both precise alignment and ready manufacture of optical and optomechanical components. A simplified embodiment of the invention includes a substantially symmetric cylindrical tube with an optical device at one end of the tube, a grating at another, opposite end of the tube and optics disposed between. optomechanical/optoelectronic device that is particularly well suited to WDM and imaging applications. Included is an integrated optomechanical/optoelctronic device particularly well suited to imaging and Wavelength-Division-Multiplexed (WDM) applications.
