Abstract

This paper presents the design of an improved tip-tilt-piston compliant/flexure motion stage for steering light beam. The motion stage is actuated by three linear stepper motors in an open-loop control. Using a laser and optical setup, the completed device was tested by making it steer a laser beam, effectively demonstrating its range of movement and level of precision. The testing has proved that the new motion stage system has a maximum bidirectional rotation range of at least 2.89° with a precision and repeatability of 0.0213°, demonstrating a micro-positioning ability.
