Design and performance of an optical mount using cross-flexure pivots

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5824558
The design of an optical mount using commercially available cross-flexure steel pivots is described. The pivots and their incorporation into a 5- /times/ 10-inch rectangular optical mount are illustrated. Test data on this mount show acceptable thermal stability and thermal hysteresis for use in a laboratory optical system. The design is easily scaled to other optic sizes. 9 refs., 5 figs., 1 tab.
