Abstract
An apparatus for finely adjusting an orientation of an optical device. The apparatus includes a base plate which supports an optical device, a bracket coupled to the base plate such that the base plate is rotatable with respect to the bracket, a spring disposed between the base plate and the bracket to apply an elastic force to the base plate, and an adjusting element which pushes the base plate against the bracket through the base plate to adjust a relative position of the optical device with respect to the bracket. The apparatus can finely and precisely adjust the orientation of the optical device.
