Abstract
Optical assemblies having a barrel and one or more optical elements mounted therein are provided. The optical assembly includes a resilient spacer positioned between two consecutive ones of the components mounted in the barrel. In typical implementations, the contacting surface of either one of the components adjacent to the resilient spacer is precisely centered relative to the center axis of the cavity of the barrel. Furthermore, an outwardly-directed resulting force is applied to the resilient spacer by its engagements with the adjacent components.
