Fast Steering Mirrors (FSM) play a crucial role in both optical communication and space imagery, serving a wide range of functions such as Point Ahead Mechanisms (PAM), Raster Scanning, Beam Steering Mirrors (BSM), Fine Pointing Mechanisms (FPM), and Line of Sight stabilization (LOS). The need for static and dynamic precision control is growing rapidly. Thus, … Read more
CTEC is developing a second version of M-FSM45 Fast Steering Mirror, dedicated to High Power Laser (HPL) spacecraft Optical Communication. The M-FSM45-HPL is benefitting from a total redesign, in order to cope with [50W-80W] laser continuous power range, under space vacuum. The M-FSM45-HPL shall then allow high power Feeder Link applications, for both low earth altitude … Read more
For our sales team, new demokits have been created showcasing the implementation of our P-FSM. These kits aim to demonstrate CTEC’s capability in developing compact mechanisms and driving electronics. They utilize either a P-FSM150S or a MINI P-FSM35XS, a laser, and mirrors to amplify the laser deflection, making it visible on a screen within a … Read more
