Vertical drive Optical mount is manufactured in two modifications: 5VDOM-1 with flat L-form spring. 5KVDOM-1 with spiral springs.
Ultra-stable Kinematic Mirror Mounts 5VDOM-1 are designed to minimize mount-induced wavefront distortions. In conventional mounts, the mirror is tightened by a side screw. Radial forces acting on the mirror induces parasitic wavefront distortion, such as astigmatism. 5VDOM-1 mirror mounts use secure 3-points mirror suspension in between frontal flat spring and the back plate. Uniformly distributed axial forces eliminate wavefront distortion.
Due thermal processes on optic holding part, all metal inner tensions were removed and part makes none micro movements.
These mounts are ideal for industrial applications in different optical devices (laser cavities, optical sub-assemblies, limited space applications) because of their long-term stability.
Optics secured in double-bored hole with nylon setscrew. For any thickness optics.
Fixed with 3 spots on flat spring. For 6±0.2 mm thickness optics.
3BPVDOM Universal Base Plate is designed for attaching Vertical Drive Optical Mounts 5KVDOM-1 and 5VDOM-1 to STANDA optical tables or to another stages.
