Steering mirrors
Optotune’s compact Fast and Fine Steering Mirrors use robust voice-coil actuation to enable precise 2D beam deflection. Fast Steering Mirrors are designed for large tilt angles and include integrated optical position feedback for applications like field-of-view (FOV)expansion. ​ Fine Steering Mirrors offer an ultra-thin design with a large mirror surface, making them ideal for small, high-precision adjustments and laser wobbling.
  • Large clear apertures and tilt angles​
  • 2D beam deflection with a single optical element (reduced reflection loss, no beam-shift)​
  • Robust voice-coil actuation​
  • Optical real-time position feedback​
  • Compact & lightweight

Fast steering mirrors (FSM) redirect light by rapidly tilting a reflective surface around two axes. In Optotune’sFSMs, a voice-coil actuator generates smooth and precise motion with minimal wear, supported by a long-lifetimeprecision bearing. The virtual rotation point is positioned close to the mirror surface, ensuring accurate beamalignment with minimal lateral shift. A built-in optical position sensor provides real-time feedback for closed-loopPID control, supported by onboard calibration and temperature monitoring for stable long-term performance. Withlow-latency analog interfaces and a choice of high-power mirror coatings, Optotune’s FSMs deliver compact,reliable, and highly responsive 2D beam steering.​

Optotune’s compact Fine Steering Mirrors (FMR) use a voice-coil actuator placed around the reflective surface toenable precise 2-axis motion. A single large mirror provides true 2D beam steering for low- to high-power laserswith micro-radian resolution, while the bearingless design ensures long operational lifetime.

Optotune’s lightweight, compact Fast Steering Mirrors (FSM) deliver large apertures with widetilt angles for true 2D beam steering using a single optical element—reducing reflection losses,eliminating beam shift, and simplifying system design. Paired with a camera, it enables FOVexpansion. A robust voice-coil actuator and real-time optical feedback ensure precise, repeatablemotion control.​

Optotune’s Fine Steering Mirror (FMR) series offers precise beam control with a large clear aperture and fast response. Its compact design, high-power coatings, and ability to position a beam dump directly behind the mirror make it ideal for demanding applications like 2D wobbling.​
