    Abstract: Various exemplary systems for transporting and switching optical components are disclosed. The system includes carriers disposed about a housing and configured to follow a carrier guide system to switch optical components at the optical prescription center of the optical path. In one example, a device is disclosed that reduces the packaging form factor through the use of carriers rotated about an inverted radius along a track adjacent to a limiting peripheral boundary. The system and device are configured to switch optical components while minimizing the form factor of the optical device. Methods of accomplishing these tasks are also disclosed.

    Abstract: A relative translation assembly operable with a drive mechanism. The relative translation assembly can have a fixed support member, a translatable member supported by the fixed support member, and a translation guide portion to facilitate translation of the translatable member relative to the fixed support member. The translation guide portion can have a fixed translation member and a movable translation member. The movable translation member can be configured to maintain preload on the fixed and movable translation members and accommodate thermal expansion. The drive mechanism can be configured to cause translation of the translatable member relative to the fixed support member.
