Abstract
The present invention is directed to an optical assembly with a substrate. A non-latching optical component is attached to the substrate and includes a non-latching garnet and a permanent magnet in magnetic communication with the garnet. Also, a latching optical component is attached to the substrate and includes a latching garnet. A magnetic shield is between the non-latching optical component and the latching optical component.
