reflective optics can be aligned. Holders for mirrors, lenses, andother optics simply attach to the front of each of these adjustablemounts.

The MicroLab system is designed for optical components thattypically range from 5 to 15 mm in size. Since small optics are dif-ficult to handle, a series of optical mounting cells is available to usewith them. Once mounted in a cell, lenses can be handled easily.Cell-mounted lenses and other optics can be tilted with a mirror/optics mount or translated with a y-z positioner. For max-imum mounting flexibility, an adjustable lens holder is also offered.

Fiber optics, mounted in a V-groove fiber holder, can be alignedwith a y-z positioner and translation stage (go to page 21.7). Aprism/tilt table with integral rotation is ideal for aligning right-angleprisms or cube beamsplitters. The optic is securely held down witha component retainer. A filter holder, designed to hold round orsquare flat optical components, is also available. Precision rotationof polarizers and retardation plates can be accomplished with eitherthe single or double polarizer holder.

Stable optical component holders are critical for aligning anyoptical system. Melles Griot manufactures a comprehensive rangeof MicroLab™ component holders designed to satisfy any align-ment need. Each mount is designed to be as compact as possible,yet still convenient to use. Because they are all either post or basemountable, it is simple to build and align optical systems.

Kinematic mirror mounts provide precise angular alignmentfor most applications. Gimbal mirror and beamsplitter mountsmaintain the optical path length during adjustment since there isno translation of the optic. The precision flexure mirror/opticsmount has a 16-mm-diameter aperture so that both transmissive and

Miniature Gimbal Mirror Mount $ Self-contained true gimbal mechanism

$ High-strength hexagonally shaped body

$ Post or base mountable

This gimbal mirror mount provides 82.5 degrees of preciseangular adjustment about two orthogonal axes which intersect atthe center of the front surface of the optic. The length of the opti-cal path, therefore, remains constant during adjustment.

Optics from 12.5 to 12.7 mm (0.5 inch) are held in this mountwith a retaining ring. Mirrors up to 6 mm in thickness and platebeamsplitters up to 1 mm in thickness can be mounted.

Precision stainless steel 0.35-mm-pitch (73-TPI) adjustmentscrews yield an angular resolution of 13 arc seconds. TwoM4-threaded and two M2-threaded holes are provided to postmount or to attach an 07 ACF 501 base mounting adaptor (go topage 21.39). The gimbal mount is made of black-anodized aluminum.

07 MEG 501 is used to fold the optical path in thisapplication.

Gimbal mirror mounts pivot the mirror’s surface about theaxes of rotation.

Precision Flexure Mirror/Optic MountThis mount has three high-precision adjusting screws which

allow 82 degrees of tilt when just one screw is turned and 1 mmof translation along the optical axis when all three screws are turnedan equal amount. The stainless steel, 0.25-mm-pitch (102-TPI)adjustment screws with rolling-ball tips provide an angular resolutionof 15 arc seconds and a translational resolution of 0.75 mm. Themount utilizes flexures to constrain unwanted motion and strongsprings to achieve excellent long-term stability.

The 16-mm-diameter aperture through this mount makes itunique. Mirrors, beamsplitters, microscope objective lenses, andcell-mounted components can all be positioned using the compo-nent holders described on pages 21.44, 22.9. One M4-threaded holeand two M2-threaded holes in the base are provided for post orriser block/base mounting. The precision flexure mirror/opticsmount is made of brass with a black-chrome finish andblack-anodized aluminum.

The 07 ACH 501 angle bracket may be used to mount the07 MFM 501 flexure optics mount or the 07 MEB 501 kinematictilt mount (go to pages 21.34-21.35) in a vertical or horizontal position.

Kinematic Tilt Mount and Accessories$ 85-degree range

$ 15-arc-second resolution

$ Post or base mountable

This kinematic tilt mount provides smooth adjustment over anangular range of 85 degrees. Precision stainless steel, 0.35-mm-pitch(73-TPI) adjustment screws yield an angular resolution of 15 arc sec-onds. 12.5 to 12.7 mm (0.5 inch) and 25 to 25.4 mm (1-inch) mir-rors are attached to the mount using the 07 MEA 505 and 508component holders.

One M4-threaded hole and two M2-threaded holes are pro-vided in the base for mounting to either a post or a base.When mounting to a base, riser blocks can be used to raise the fixedoptical-axis height.

If the 07 MEB 501 kinematic tilt mount is post-mounted on aMicroLab™ breadboard as a kinematic mirror mount, the07 MEA 520 center of rotation base plate will locate the surface ofthe mirror directly above the axis of the mounting post allowing the07 MEB 501 mirror to rotate on the post and still be on axis at45 degrees or other angles. The 07 MEA 520 center of rotation baseplate attaches directly to the bottom of the 07 MEB 501 with twoM2 screws.

When mounted horizontally on top of a post, this mount, withthe addition of the 07 TTD 501 or 503 (go to pages 21.38, 23.26,becomes a prism or cube-beamsplitter tilt table. The kinematic tiltmount is made of black-anodized aluminum.
