VGM-1N In Stock

The VGM-1N by Newport is a Vertical-Drive Gimbal Optical Mount, designed for precise manipulation of 1-inch diameter optics. This mount combines true gimbal adjustment capabilities with a commitment to maintaining exceptional performance in terms of high-resolution optics and steadfast positioning. Designed to meet the demands of applications where an unobstructed beam path is imperative—such as those involving beamsplitters, output couplers, and laser-cavity mirrors—the VGM-1N excels in ensuring optimal optical alignment. Notably, both drive mechanisms are thoughtfully situated on a single side, allowing for convenient access that can be extended through safety enclosures either from the top or side. This design guarantees adjustments can be executed without the need to disassemble the protective enclosure.

The VGM-1N relies on compatible actuators, specifically the CMA or LTA Motorized Actuators. These actuators offer an impressive incremental motion range of 0.02 µm to 0.1 µm, enabling automated mirror alignment with unparalleled precision. This mount's ingenuity extends to its versatile vase plate, which effortlessly accommodates both metric and English hole patterns, enhancing adaptability across various setups. When paired with the RH Series Riser Block, components find a stable mounting point with fixed optical axis height for uncompromised stability. With the VGM-1N, optics are thoughtfully positioned, ensuring that the gimbal plane aligns seamlessly with the front surface, thereby delivering an unparalleled level of adjustability. Precision manufacturing techniques come to the fore, resulting in axis adjustments that remain independent and isolated, effectively minimizing drift and cross-talk. This exceptional level of precision makes this mount particularly well-suited for demanding intra-cavity applications.
