| abstract |
A method of assembling precision optical or optomechanical components of otherwise incompatible chemistry that provides first and second components having respective first and second polished contacting surfaces to be bonded; deposits a thin film dielectric coating at the surface of the first and or second polished surface, and contacts the coated portion of the first or second components with the respective contacting surfaces to be bonded, while maintaining alignment of the two components, to form a single structure. |
