Abstract

The field of piezo motion devices for laser applications has expanded rapidly in recent years and today's optical engineers have a wealth of different piezo technologies at their disposal, from small piezo stacks for cavity tuning to tip/tilt platforms and long travel motors with high dynamics and precision.Piezo actuators can even be found on Mars where they help researchers answer the question if there once was life on the Red Planet, based on laser spectroscopy.
