Overview
The OM01-HA15 Reflective/Beam-Splitting Mirror Mount is a precision-engineered optical mounting solution designed for stable, repeatable alignment of flat mirrors and beam-splitting optics in laboratory, metrology, and OEM laser systems. It operates on a mechanical angular adjustment principle—utilizing a kinematic tilt platform with dual-axis symmetry (though configured for single-axis fine adjustment in standard operation)—where angular displacement is achieved via differential screw translation converted into controlled rotational motion of the mirror carrier. The mount’s enclosed housing architecture isolates the internal adjustment mechanism from dust, vibration, and accidental contact, ensuring long-term alignment stability under moderate environmental fluctuations. Its design conforms to standard optical table integration practices, supporting compatibility with common metric-threaded posts, baseplates, and modular optomechanical ecosystems.
Key Features
- Enclosed mechanical housing with integrated retaining ring system for secure, non-marring optical element clamping—optimized for 15 mm diameter mirrors or beamsplitters.
- Quadruple symmetric return springs provide consistent, hysteresis-minimized recentering force after manual adjustment, enhancing repeatability across repeated setup cycles.
- Precision-machined aluminum body with black anodized finish ensures dimensional stability, corrosion resistance, and low thermal expansion coefficient (typical α ≈ 23.1 × 10⁻⁶ K⁻¹).
- Standardized mounting interface: two M6 threaded holes (for vertical post attachment) and four M4 tapped holes (for lateral baseplate or adapter plate integration), enabling rapid reconfiguration within ISO-standard optical breadboard environments.
- Angular resolution supported by fine-pitch adjustment screws (M3 × 0.5 mm pitch) allows sub-arcminute incremental tuning; typical angular reproducibility is ≤ ±15 arcseconds over 100 adjustment cycles under controlled lab conditions.
Sample Compatibility & Compliance
The OM01-HA15 accommodates plano-optics up to 15 mm clear aperture with thicknesses ranging from 1.0 mm to 6.0 mm, including protected aluminum, dielectric-coated, and broadband antireflection-coated substrates. It is compatible with industry-standard PH-series post holders (e.g., PH12, PH20), BP-series baseplates (BP100, BP200), magnetic bases (e.g., MB10), and threaded adapters (e.g., TR12–M6). While not certified to a specific international standard as a standalone component, its mechanical tolerances and material specifications align with ISO 10110-7 (surface form error control) and DIN 3180 (metric thread conformity). When integrated into larger optical assemblies, it supports compliance with ISO/IEC 17025 calibration traceability frameworks when used with NIST-traceable alignment instrumentation.
Software & Data Management
This is a purely mechanical, manually operated mount with no embedded electronics, sensors, or firmware. Consequently, it does not require drivers, configuration software, or data logging interfaces. Alignment parameters are recorded externally using calibrated autocollimators, position-sensing detectors (PSDs), or interferometric alignment tools. Documentation—including dimensional drawings (GD&T annotated per ASME Y14.5), RoHS compliance statements, and material certificates—is provided in English upon request and archived in accordance with ISO 9001:2015 document control requirements.
Applications
- Laser cavity alignment in DPSS and diode-pumped solid-state systems requiring passive, drift-resistant mirror positioning.
- Interferometer beam path stabilization in Michelson, Mach–Zehnder, and Twyman–Green configurations.
- Optical coherence tomography (OCT) reference arm assembly where minimal thermal drift and mechanical hysteresis are critical.
- Educational optics labs for teaching fundamental principles of ray steering, collimation, and wavefront manipulation.
- Integration into automated inspection platforms where manual pre-alignment precedes motorized fine-tuning stages.
FAQ
What mirror thicknesses are supported by the OM01-HA15?
Standard operation supports optics between 1.0 mm and 6.0 mm thick; custom retaining rings are available for specialized substrate geometries.
Is the mount vacuum-compatible?
The standard anodized aluminum version is suitable for dry, low-vacuum environments (<10⁻² mbar); for UHV applications, optional stainless steel variants with vacuum-rated surface treatments are available upon engineering consultation.
Can this mount be used with non-circular optics?
Yes—when paired with custom adapter rings or kinematic clips, rectangular or elliptical substrates up to 15 mm diagonal dimension may be secured, though angular travel remains nominal ±4.5°.
Does the OM01-HA15 meet RoHS or REACH requirements?
Yes—the aluminum alloy (6061-T6), stainless steel fasteners, and anodization process comply with Directive 2011/65/EU (RoHS 2) and Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 (REACH), with full declarations available in the technical dossier.
What is the maximum recommended torque for the M6 mounting screws?
0.8–1.2 N·m—exceeding this range may compromise thread integrity or induce frame distortion affecting angular repeatability.
