Optical Breadboards

Optical breadboards are a relatively portable platform for building an optical setup on a flat surface. Thorlabs extensive optical breadboard product line includes the PerformancePlus series of optical breadboards with vibration isolation features like triple plate construction, an interior honeycomb structure, and an internal damping mechanism. For a lightweight solution, try our optical breadboards made from aluminum.

	Stiffness: Tabletop"s capability to resist bending to an applied force or load, reducing the deflection between two components on the table top"s surface.
	Damping: Tabletop"s ability to dissipate energy from an induced vibration on the table top"s surface, reducing its magnitude and duration.
