Aegis Qube™ Cubic Enclosures and Mounts
The Aegis Qube™ Beam Routing System provides routing, shielding, and enclosing for lasers or similar light beams on optical tables. The system is composed of a hollow cube to hold and enclose optics mounts, a stout post holder and clamping fork combination for mounting the cube to an optical table, and a large selection of beam tubes in various lengths to route the optical beam into and out of the cube.
- Enclose and route optical beams
- Promotes laser eye safety
- Modular and versatile design
- Compatible with existing Newport optics mounts
- Easy to assemble and align See All Features

Features
Fully Enclosed Beam Path
Unique Cubic Enclosure
The Cubic Enclosure Q-OC-1 can house several types of optical mounts. A Q-SS100-R3HN or Performa-i series kinematic mirror mount will mount directly into the cube. Both of these mount types hold 1-in. diameter mirrors or beam splitters. 0.5 in. hex-driven Ultima or Suprema series mirror mounts can be hosted inside the mount with Q-A50-E adapter.
Accessible Mount Adjustments
Three cover plate options are offered for the Q-OC-1 cube. Q-XE-CP-1 cover plate has access holes to allow adjustment of optics mount within the cube. Q-XE-CP-W cover plate features a sliding window to conveniently access optical mounts inside the cube and can be closed and locked in place to prevent unwanted access. Q-XE-CP-B cover plate has no access holes for tamper resistant protection.
Prism-Cube Gimbal Mount
1-inch beam splitting cubes or prisms can be mounted within the cube using the Q-IBC-1 gimbal prism mount. This mount provides three axes of gimballed angular adjustment and can be purchased with UGP-KIT adapters for mounting 0.5-inch cubes, spherical or rectangular optics. The Q-IBC-1 is designed to attach to the open face of the Q-OC-1 cube opposite the enclosed face. The entire cube assembly can be supported by standard optical post using the 8-32 (M4) counterbored hole in the center of the mount's base.
Adjustable Mounts for Lenses & Polarizers
1-inch diameter polarizers or wave plates can be mounted externally to the cube with the Q-XIPR-1 polarizer rotator. This mount provides a full 360 degrees of indexed manual rotation and can hold polarizers up to 0.50-inch thick. 1-inch diameter lenses can also be mounted using the Q-XILP-1 lens positioner. Both mounts can be attached directly to any of the five open faces of the Q-OC-1 cube or, by using the RG Series guide rods, be mounted in line between any two cubes. Q-XILP-1 also has both 8-32 and M4 threaded holes for post mounting.
