Abstract
A compact, environmentally isolated platform for mounting optical components, comprising a plurality of similarly shaped substantially flat plates, an enclosing structural element, and an interior structural element. The similarly shaped substantially flat plates are comprised of metal or composite material, define planes generally parallel to each other, are configured to receive mountable optical components, and have at least one aperture. The enclosing structural element is comprised of metal or composite material, is shaped to generally contain the plurality of similarly shaped substantially flat plates with an interior surface shaped to accommodate the perimeters of the plurality of similarly shaped substantially flat plates, and surrounds the perimeters of the plurality of similarly shaped substantially flat plates. The interior structural element is comprised of metal or composite material and passes through or connecting at least two of the plurality of similarly shaped substantially flat plates to provide structural support.
