What is a Piezo Flexure Stage?
A Piezo Stage can be characterized as a mechanical device, driven by a piezoelectric actuator, which provides one or more axis of motion.
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...
