Two-axis two-mirror beam steering system.

Miniature piezo smart stages with built-in controllers enable simple, precise point-to-point beam steering. The DK-M3-RS-U2-2M-20-L is a complete piezoelectric beam steering system with a familiar galvanometer form factor, but a smaller size: only 11.75 mm long x 21.9 mm wide x 16 mm tall including the embedded closed-loop controller.

Piezoelectric motors along with position sensors, bearings, drive electronics and embedded firmware are all integrated inside each of the two miniature rotary stages.

The extra bulk of a separate external controller is eliminated.

Along with small system size, this makes for fast, easy integration. The beam steering system accepts direct input of high-level digital commands from a system processor or use the USB adapter to power and control the system from a PC. Input is only 3.3 VDC.
