Abstract

Deriving the optimal bondline thickness for an athermal bondline depends on many factors. An optimum bondline is defined as one that produces zero radial stress at the optic/adhesive interface. A review of the current equations in use and a new non-linear equation defined for optic mounts over larger temperature ranges is included. An assessment of sensitivities around the optimum bondline thickness is discussed. Also, guidelines for do's and don'ts in athermal optics mounts is included.
