Alignment Techniques Using Piezo Stages
Piezo stages are often used to perform raster scans in alignment set-ups aimed at finding optical power peaks. Flexure-based piezo stages have the advantage of frictionless scanning which enables higher scanning speeds without wear. The nPoint LC.400 controllers and GUI offer a variety of capabilities aimed at reducing the time...
How Piezo Stages React to Temperature Variation
Qualitative analysis Flexure-based piezo stages are essentially blocks of metal with flexure patterns that create a moving platform suspended from static frame via flexures. The sketch below shows a simplified flexure stage that moves in one direction when the piezo expands or contracts. A capacitive sensor is used as the...
