Applications

Set-and-forget alignment

Adjust once during setup and lock, on axes that do not need to move again during the run.

Coarse positioning ahead of fine stages

Establish the optical axis by hand before a piezo or motorised stage takes the fine motion.

Prototyping and teaching rigs

Reconfigure a layout quickly, with no cabling, controllers or electrical noise added to the experiment.

Fiber polarization control

Single-mode fiber does not preserve polarization. Pin the state, erase it with a scrambler, or maintain it in PM fiber — which one your measurement needs, and the response time and extinction ratio that decide it.
