Active Optics

Active optics is a concept that allows the shape of mirrors to be monitored and readjusted during operation. Active optics systems range from piezo-driven steering mirrors to large aperture hexapod structures

Equipment
PI (Physik Instrumente) S-334 piezo tip/tilt mirrors / scanners provide extremely large deflection angles in a miniaturized package. These fast steering mirror systems are based on a sophisticated parallel-kinematics design with two coplanar, orthogonal axes and a fixed pivot point.
S-303 phase shifters are extremely fast and compact systems based on a piezo tripod drive. They offer angstrom level resolution, piston movement up to 3 µm with sub-msec response and settling dynamics. The S-303 is designed for mirrors and optics up to 25 mm diameter and can be mounted in any orientation. Open- and closed-loop versions are available.
