Polaris® Line

Our Polaris^® line of products is the ultimate solution for applications requiring stringent long-term alignment stability. We offer Polaris mounts for optics as small as Ø1/2" and as large as Ø6". Our PolarisKA Aluminum Kinematic Mounts feature a lightweight design and are offered as side-optic retention mounts or SM-threaded mounts. Our Polaris Stainless Steel Kinematic mounts are available for optics up to Ø3" and include a variety of features and optic mounting options, including: side-optic retention mounts, SM-threaded mounts, low distortion mounts, glue-in mounts, mounts with piezo adjusters, and mounts with vertical drive adjusters. Polaris mounts with side optic retention mechanisms use a monolithic flexure arm or flexure spring with a locking setscrew. SM‑threaded mounts with stainless steel retaining rings to secure a variety of optics are also available. Furthermore, we offer low-distortion mounts, which use a three-point design to reduce optic distortion and improve beam pointing stability, clear-edge mounts with an adhesive mounting design for applications that require permanently fixed optics with minimal surface distortion, and piezo-actuated mirror mounts for applications requiring stringent, actively monitored, long-term alignment stability. Low-distortion mounts constructed of stainless steel and aluminum are available in larger sizes of Ø4" and Ø6". We also offer XY translation and 5-axis kinematic mounts, as well as a kinematic platform mount, which is ideal for mounting other mechanical components. Finally, fixed Polaris mounts are offered in two versions: a monolithic mirror mount for integration into OEM laser systems, and a line of compact mounts which utilize glue-in or flexure arms to secure optics. Posts, clamping forks, and a 45° mounting adapter designed for use with Polaris mirror mounts round out the Polaris offering.
