Self-aligning isolating feet are now available for Optical Surfaces’ reflective collimator, enabling labs to use the instrument on different experiments.
The isolating feet allow a ±10mm height adjustment and enable easy relocation of the reflective collimator without any loss of performance. The isolating feet clamp onto standard optical tables and operate in two modes. When the unit is static the isolating feet are set in “no floating mode”. However to ensure smooth and safe transfer from one place to another the isolating feet may be set in “floating mode”.
High stability and performance on the reflective collimator is achieved using a zero expansion off-axis parabola, manufactured to better than lambda/10 p-v surface accuracy. The optics within each unit are secured by the use of stress-free mounts and come pre-aligned in the manufacturer’s laboratories for optimum performance. An off-axis design produces no central obscuration thereby ensuring highly efficient transmission is obtained. Optical Surfaces Ltd.
