PSH 20/2, PSH 35/2

Product Description

The PSH 20/2 and PSH 35/2 are part of a new series of tip-tilt systems designed to deliver high dynamics with resonant frequencies of up to 2 kHz and a wide tilt range of up to 44 mrad in open-loop. The same housing allows customers to choose between the PSH 20/2 (optimized for rapid tilt applications with lower capacitance and reduced energy consumption), and the PSH 35/2 (which offers a longer stroke and a broader temperature range) – ideal for achieving the highest precision in challenging environments.

These actuators provide tilt to the top plate on 2 rectangular axes. The construction is temperature compensated so that changes of the surrounding temperature do not affect the tilting angle. These tilting positioning stages are designed for plus/minus tilting. The mirror mounts are preloaded, thus they are well suited for dynamic applications. Strain gauge (SG) variants are optional and provide a precision feedback measurement system.

The PSH 20/2 and PSH 35/2 are designed for mirrors with a maximum diameter of 32 mm.

PKS 1

PKS 1 – Description

The PKS 1 tilting mirror system was developed for fast, fine mirror adjustment.  It can be used with ½-inch and 1-inch mirrors. For laser beam stabilization the PKS 1 can be integrated into the beam line easily. The compact design and high stiffness are a perfect match for dynamic applications. Laser beam steering can be realized in nearly real time.

The piezo-driven range of fine adjustment of 1 mrad can be offset in a range of ±2° by using the fine-thread thumb screws. The controlling voltage range is -20 V to 130 V, and the resolution accuracy is dependent upon the noise level of the applied control signal.

Cable configuration can be changed for OEM applications upon request. The series PKS is adaptable to vacuum conditions.

PSH 25

PSH 25 – Description

The PSH 25 serves the fast and precise positioning of optical components. Mirrors or prisms can be positioned in the mrad range at up to several kilohertz.

This tip-tilt steering mirror platform is characterized by the positioning of optical components in two axes. A tilting range of up to ±20 mrad (open loop) / ±16 mrad (closed loop) is available. Another key feature is the easy exchange of different optical components.

The tilting system PSH 25 can be equipped with an integrated strain gauge positioning sensor. Positions can be controlled very exactly and a previously established tilt range can be set and repeated.

Optics and optical components in various sizes can be mounted on to this tilting system.

PSH 10/2

PSH 10/2 – Description

The PSH 10/2 mirror positioning system consists of 4 piezoelectric actuators – 2 stacks for each axis, controlled in conjunction with each other. These actuators provide tilt to the top plate on 2 rectangular axes. Their construction is temperature compensated so that changes of the surrounding temperature do not affect the tilting angle. This tilting positioning stage is designed for “plus-minus tilting”. Mirror mounts are pre-loaded, thus they are well suited for dynamic applications.

The high resonant frequency of this mirror positioning systems also allows for excellent dynamic operation. An integrated strain gauge measurement system is available for closed-loop application.
