Abstract
An improved system for mounting an optical assembly of a photoelastic modulator (PEM) to permit free vibration of the optical assembly without introducing any stress or strain on the optical element. Moreover, the mounting system, which includes a mounting block (50), elastomeric mount (32), support flanges (36, 38), and a mounting rail (40), facilitates accurate and easy assembly of the optical element into its enclosure (26).
