Abstract
An assembly fixture for optical benches comprises a jig base, having at least one blind hole. The jig base is formed with a surface that is a non-wetting to solder material. The blind hole is shaped and sized in response to dimensions of the optical bench. The fixture further comprises a bench jig shroud. This shroud at least partially covers optical benches installed in the blind holes. Preferably, previsions are made in the top of the jig base at the interface with the jig shroud to facilitate its stable placement on the base.
