08 Mar 2010 The solid and constant positioning of an optical controlled Laser is a technical challenge that is now solved by the new mirror tilting system PKS1, developed by piezosystem jena. The system can perform corrections of the laser adjustment by microseconds to high precision.
Based on two orthogonal tilting axes, the compact design and the high stiffness cause a high resonant frequency of 450 Hz in combination with a fine resolution of 2nrad. Within the large manual setting angle of ±2° the piezo drive enables a fine adjustment of 1mrad. The system is completely applicable to vacuum conditions.
A mirror (⌀12,7 x 6,35 mm) can be mounted easily by using the set screw or can be directly glued.
Applications which condition the high precision positioning of optical systems, the PKS 1 represents a cost effective and competitive solution. |
