Irvine, CA – June 4, 2013 – Newport Corporation, a worldwide leader in photonic solutions, introduces two series of best-in-class opto-mechanical components. The M1 mirror mount is a highly economical component for general beam-steering applications with outstanding performance and design features. The BPH Series of multifunction slotted-base post holders is an ideal companion to the M1 mirror mount, providing stable mounting to optical tables combined with the positioning flexibility needed for optical research. Newport’s latest series of opto-mechanical components offers the most affordable solution available without sacrificing best-in-class performance, a generous feature set or Newport’s renowned product quality.
Newport’s M1 mirror mount sets a new standard for value in a robust design with excellent mechanical and thermal stability. The M1 Series is available in aperture and clear edge options for maximum beam clearance. Both versions hold 1 inch (25.4 mm) diameter optics that can be adjusted through an angular range of +/- 4° using two high-precision 100-TPI fine adjustment screws. UPA Series adaptors are compatible with the M1, allowing various other sizes and types of optics to be securely held and positioned. Horizontal and rear mounting features provide flexible positioning even when space is limited.
“Newport’s mirror mounts have an excellent reputation for high-end quality, stability and precision,” says Rick Sebastian, Sr. Manager Product Marketing at Newport. “With the introduction of the M1 Series, we are happy to provide researchers not only with the most affordable mirror mounts in the industry – but also with an all new design where we are raising the bar to create a new standard for economic, all-purpose opto-mechanical components.”
BPH Series post holders are a patent-pending re-invention of classical optical post holders featuring an all-in-one design with integrated slim-slotted base. The top surface of the post holder has a series of indentions designed to be used with the optional BPH post collar to provide repeatable, kinematic rotational alignment and indexing. Another best-in-class feature of the BPH-series is its post brake design with quick lock mechanism. The brake secures the optical post in position even after the locking screw has been fully loosened. The integrated base of the BPH features both angled and straight reference surfaces allowing precise edge-to-edge placement of adjacent post holders. Adding a BPH Base Extender converts the post holder to a double-slotted base for even more rigidity. Newport’s BPH post holders are available in four standard heights.
