Accessories Mounts for laser optics


Laser Components has introduced a new range of opto-mechanical benches and mounts for laser optics. The company now offers a wide range of holders and positioning systems for a variety of lenses, mirrors and polarisers. The simple mounts are designed for very


simple adjustment, and include adaptors, 45° mounts, standard, adjustable and self-centring holders, as well as precision polariser mounts. The mounts are designed for popular sizes ranging from 0.5 to fi ve-inch. For better accuracy, the company also offers


a wide variety of kinematic or gimbal designed mounts. In a kinematic mount the pivotal point is on the outside of the optic, whereas on a gimbal mount this is at the centre. These mounts are produced with a two or four axis adjustment and are suitable for optics of 0.5-2-inch diameter. The


positioning equipment


lens nanopositioning system mad City Labs has introduced its new Nano- F3D lens nanopositioning system, designed to position an objective lens in three dimensions with sub-nanometre accuracy and repeatability. With a travel range of 100μm in each axis, the Nano-F3D is suitable for 4Pi microscopy as well as other imaging and inspection applications. The system, designed to be mounted on microscopes and optical fi xtures, features the company’s integrated PicoQ sensors with closed loop control. www.madcitylabs.com


Mirror mount


Newport Corporation has introduced the Conex-aG-m100D, a remote-controllable, piezo-motor-driven mirror mount with an integrated two-axis absolute position sensor. It combines the high angular position sensitivity of the agilis piezo-motor direct-drive technology with exact position information from a novel, two-axis, absolute position sensor. The Conex-aG-m100D is capable of repeatable or absolute positioning tasks. This capability is important in scanning applications


mounts are available as rectangular, standard enclosed, O type, high stability C type, rotary, beam steering sets. also available is a range of accessories including tables and rail systems, rods and post holders. www.lasercomponents.com/uk/products/ laser-optics/mechanics/


or repeatedly steering a laser beam to different positions. In open loop, the mIm of the mirror mount is 2µrad over a ±0.75º range and in closed loop, the mIm is 0.001º with a bi-directional repeatability of 0.01º. With the absolute position sensor, the user can also save a position into memory and recall that position upon start-up without having to rely on a home or reference location. This is benefi cial when a previously optimised beam path must be re-established. www.newport.com/M100D
