  • Mirror alignment and damping device
    Patent number: 5276545
    Abstract: A mirror alignment and damping device (10) maintains orthogonality between the fixed mirror and the moving mirror in an interferometric spectrometer. The device (10) includes electromagnetic motion imparting units (32, 34, 36, and 38) which have electromagnetic coils (40) and threadedly adjustable pole pieces (44). The electromagnetic motion imparting units (32, 24, 26, and 38) are preferably arranged along perpendicular axes along a base (12) in order to enable independent orthogonal tilting of the mirror (26). Each voice coil consists of a wound wire coil (40) immersed in an annular magnetic field created by permanent magnets (42) which are mounted on a mirror support (44).
