Abstract
The present invention provides a high dynamic performance mounting technique that is suitable for mounting sensor elements in adverse environments. According to one aspect, the present invention includes a kinematic mounting technique for a movable secondary mirror in an optical sensor. According to another aspect, the invention includes a mounting structure that provides deterministic alignment of a sensor element over multiple positions. According to another aspect, the invention includes a mounting technique with high dynamic performance yet minimizes sensor obscuration. According to another aspect, the invention includes a mounting technique that decouples actuator stiffness and mounting accuracy from the overall dynamic stiffness and alignment accuracy of a movable secondary mirror in an optical sensor.
