Abstract
An assembly for providing an adjustable optical train is disclosed. An adjustable optical train is comprised of a plate having a channel formed therein. A submount suitable for mounting an object such as an optical component (e.g., holographic medium, lens, prism, etc.) engages the channel so the submount is suitable for slidable movement along the channel. In an exemplary embodiment, the submount further comprises a fastener. The fastener may include an appendage for engaging the channel and a holder coupled to the appendage. The holder is suitable for anchoring the appendage thereby securing the appendage to the channel thereby securing the submount to the plate.
