The present invention relates to optoelectronic laser devices, more precisely it relates to a mount for mounting optical components with an emphasis on temperature stabilization and their adjustment. The mount for temperature stabilization of optical components is characterized in that improved temperature responsiveness of the optomechanic assembly is achieved, and in addition uniform heat supply or removal, respectively, from entire side surfaces of the optical component is ensured by decreasing of the volume of thermally active part of the mount and by placing heat conducting brackets, which surround the optical element; that a disconnection of the thermally active part and a thermally inactive part of the mount is achieved with point or line contacts or the thermally active part is made of a material with high thermal conductivity, while the thermally inactive part of the mount is made of a material with low thermal conductivity; that the mount can be made from a single piece, which allows further simplification for cylindrically shaped optical components, for which the mechanical mount from one piece also functions as heat conductive brackets.
