The document summarizes work done to develop a low-cost terrestrial planar passive device using adhesive mounts to attach precision optics. Key points: - Adhesive mounts were explored as a lower-cost solution to attach collimators compared to traditional roller mounts. - Adhesives were screened using gravimetric testing and etalon experiments to evaluate hygrothermal and dilative properties required to pass Telcordia standards. - A cationic epoxy adhesive was identified that showed minimal displacement after environmental aging, meeting the design requirements for the passive device.
