Abstract Previously, fixed angle Laser-Compton Scattering (LCS) experiments have been conducted at the terminal of the 100MeV LINAC of the Shanghai Institute of Applied Physics, using SINAP-I* and SINAP-II** facility. Sub-MeV energy continuously tunable laser-Compton light source device (SINAP-Ⅲ) is an updated facility that will allow the collision angle between the laser and electron beam continuously adjustable from 20 to 160 degrees. This new feature will enable convenient control on the peak energy of the generated X/γ ray, especially when the energy of electrons cannot be momentarily adjusted, e.g. on the storage ring. The well control of the status of LCS is necessary. An interaction chamber containing a rotatable structure that holds a series of plane mirrors and convex lens is presented to achieve it. This work is a summary of its design. The simulation of photon production's variation caused by the system errors is performed using a MC code***. The accuracies of installation and adjustment of mirrors and lens are given according to the simulation results. The sizes of these optical devices are also optimized to make the chamber as compact as possible due to space limitation.
