PI News: S-334 Long-Range Piezo Mirror Scanner / Stabilization Platform: Higher Resolution, Speed than Galvo Scanners; S334; Piezo Spiegel, piezo laser mirror

S-334 Long-Range Piezo Mirror Scanner / Stabilization Platform Provides Higher Resolution, Speed than Galvo Scanners

The S-334 two-axis, piezo-driven, beam-steering mirror from PI (Physik Instrumente) break through in two-axis solid-state driven designs. It provides optical deflection to 6 degrees significantly more than other systems on the market. Unlike galvo-driven, two-axis scanners which consist of two single axis units working in series, the S-334 is a true two-axis system with one common pivot point.

Typical Applications: 2-Axis Laser Beam Scanning, Steering and Stabilization; Image Stabilization; Scanning Microscopy; Compensation of Errors in Optics; Semiconductor Test & Measurement Equipment, Metrology, Optical Telecommunication.

Smaller and Faster
A new friction-free, flexure-based motion amplifier and integrated, absolute-measuring, position sensors make the system smaller and more accurate. With a resonant frequency of 1.3 kHz, submicro-radian resolution and a very small housing (1 x 1.3 x 1.5 in), the system combines a variety of features into one breakthrough design. High-resolution position feedback sensors allow precise position control in dynamic or static applications

Features & Advantages

  • Solid-state, piezo drives provide faster response than motors or galvo scanners
  • 6 degrees optical deflection, significantly more than other solid-state scanners
  • True two-axis design, with one common pivot point provides better linearity and orthogonality
  • 1.3 kHz resonant frequency allows fast scanning
  • Closed-loop control with absolute-measuring sensors for higher accuracy


A variety of OEM and rack-mount controllers with high-speed interfaces and 20 bit resolution 20 are available to drive the S-334 tip/tilt system.

  • Applications:
  • Laser Scanning Microscopy
  • Metrology
  • Image Steering/Stabilization
  • Compensation of Errors in Optics
  • Semiconductor Test & Measurement Equipment
  • Free Space Optical Telecommunication.
