Abstract

An adjustable optical cell assembly includes a hollow body defining a cavity and a plurality of optical elements rigidly affixed within the cavity. A first actuator is configured to apply a force to an external surface of the hollow body sufficient to elastically deform at least a portion of the hollow body such one of a distance and a relative orientation between first and second optical elements of the plurality of optical elements is responsively altered.
