Fast Steering Mirror Features
The custom design of or built-to-print Fast Steering Mirror (FSM) incorporates a mirror mounted to a flexure support system that is tilted to direct a laser beam or other light source. A set of voice coil actuators or eddy current sensors are used to provide the directional motion for complete precision and low jitter functionality.
The system offers either open-loop and closed-loop operation. For closed-loop operation, integrated high-speed precision sensors are used to provide a complete feedback control system. With its modular design, the FSM allows increased flexibility in mirror substrate choice, aperture size, degrees of tilt and control electronics to meet any mission requirements.

We specialize in supporting customers with products that are intended for production-scale manufacturing. Many of our partnerships begin with prototype or early-stage development work, but our primary focus is helping customers move toward repeatable, higher-volume production. As a result, we are generally not the right fit for one-off or hobby projects.
