Displacement Feedback for Closed Loop Nanopositioning Systems
Piezo-based nanopositioners for moving objects in nanometer range require ultra-precise displacement sensors to increase motion stability and accuracy. A nine axis positioner setup was implemented in a high vacuum environment and our laser interferometer was used for displacement feedback. This closed loop positioning system provided a stability of a few nanometers, while the IDS3010 was capable of identify even steps of 10 pm. In this specific setup, in total three IDS3010 were used for eight...
