Abstract: A crystal modulator (20) is on an axis (19) which is positioned in translation and pivotal rotation with respect to another axis (17) of a laser. The crystal modulator (20) is supported in an inner housing (18) on axis (19). The inner housing is supported within an outer housing (16) which is affixed to the laser. Mating surfaces (32, 38) on the inner and outer housings are spherically contoured so that the inner housing may be pivoted about the center (24) of the extended sphere of the mating surfaces and thereby pivot axis (19) into coincidence with axis (17). An end (22) of the crystal modulator is positioned at this spherical center. Of two sets of four setscrews (26, 28) threaded into the outer housing, one set is disposed to contact the inner housing directly. The other set of screws is disposed to contact a ring (36) whose inner surface comprises one of the spherical surfaces. By adjustment of the screws, the axis of the inner housing may be linearly moved in a radial direction toward the laser optical axis until at least both axes intersect at the centerpoint (34) of the spherical surfaces. The set of setscrews (28) are adjusted to pivot the axis of the inner housing about the centerpoint of the spherical surfaces until the axes coincide.

Abstract: Un modulateur en cristal (20) se situe sur un axe (19) pouvant être mis en translation et en rotation par rapport à un autre axe (17) d'un laser. Le modulateur en cristal (20) est soutenu dans une enceinte intérieure (18) sur l'axe (19). L'enceinte intérieure est soutenue dans une enceinte extérieure (16) fixée au laser. Des surfaces de couplage (32, 38) des enceintes intérieure et extérieure ont un contour sphérique de façon à permettre à l'encinte intérieure de pivoter autour du centre (24) de la sphère étendue des surfaces de couplage jusqu'à ce que l'axe (19) coïncide avec l'axe (17). Une extrémité (22) du modulateur en cristal se situe à ce centre de la sphère. Parmi deux ensembles de quatre vis régulatrices (26, 28) vissées dans l'enceinte extérieure, un ensemble contacte directement l'enceinte intérieure. L'autre ensemble de vis régulatrices contacte une bague (36) dont la surface intérieure comprend une des surfaces sphériques. En ajustant les vis, on peut déplacer linéairement et axialement l'axe de l'enceinte intérieure vers l'axe optique du laser jusqu'à ce qu'au moins les deux axes s'intersectent au point central (34) des surfaces sphériques. On ajuste l'ensemble de vis régulatrices (28) de façon à faire pivoter l'axe de l'enceinte intérieure autour du point central des surfaces sphériques jusqu'à ce que les axes coïncident l'un avec l'autre.
