Optical Components for Special Situations

In nearly all optical experiments, there must be some degree of adjustment. Depending on the optical elements involved, the experiments may require up to six degrees of freedom. A mirror mount in an interferometer might need only two rotational axes, but it may require arc-second angular resolution. Aligning single-mode optical fibres to double-sided planar waveguide structures often requires all six axes of adjustment with submicron resolution. In many cases, standard stages provide the necessary micropositioning control in the laboratory, so using these devices is often a simple and...Read full article
