Did You Know?

Did you know active vibration isolation can reduce vibrations by up to 99% across a broad range of frequencies? This makes a dramatic improvement in the stability and resolution of your optical setups. Without proper isolation, vibrations - whether stemming from nearby heavy machinery, structural disturbances, or even the movement of people - can compromise your data and undermine your ability to perform high-precision measurements. Using sophisticated sensors, actuators, and control algorithms, active isolation systems respond in real time, adding or removing forces to keep your platform perfectly steady. This lets you observe signals at their true resolution, whether you’re imaging delicate nanostructures, aligning high-energy laser beams, or investigating weak optical signals. Active isolation is a game-changer for both scientific research and industrial applications - delivering results you can trust, down to the nanometer scale.

Active Vibration Isolation — The Ultimate Solution for Precision Optical Setups

Active vibration isolation is a powerful way to enable maximum stability for your high-precision optical equipment. At FindLight, we specialize in offering a range of sophisticated active isolation platforms and systems designed to filter out vibrations and enable you to perform your most delicate experiments with confidence and accuracy.

What Is Active Vibration Isolation?

Active vibration isolation involves using sensors and actuators to detect and cancel vibrations in real time. This technology stands out from passive isolation by reacting to vibrations as they happen - adding or removing forces to keep your optical table or platform completely steady. This results in dramatic reductions in vibrations across a wide range of frequencies, delivering much greater stability than passive methods can provide.

This is especially crucial for applications where even tiny vibrations can undermine results - from high-resolution imaging to interferometric testing. Active isolation lets you achieve pure, stable signals, freeing you from external disturbances and delivering the highest data fidelity for your experiments.

Why Is Active Vibration Isolation So Important?

Vibration is a major concern in many scientific and industrial applications. Structural vibrations from nearby equipment, heavy machinery, or even ordinary activity in a laboratory can compromise your data, reduce resolution, or undermine your ability to align optical components with high precision. Implementing active isolation lets you filter these vibrations out in real time, retaining maximum stability and preserving the highest resolution for your experiments.
