Patent ID: 8085482

Claim:
An optical element mount comprising: an inner member suspended within an outer member by a plurality of flexures; a first translational actuator movable within the outer member and coupled to the inner member by a first shaft, wherein the first translational actuator is actuable to translate the inner member along a first substantially linear travel path within a translation plane that is orthogonal to an optical axis; a second translational actuator movable within the outer member and coupled to the inner member by a second shaft, wherein the second translational actuator is actuable to translate the inner member along a second substantially linear travel path within the translation plane; and a rotational actuator movable within the outer member and coupled to the inner member by a third shaft, wherein the rotational actuator is actuable to rotate the inner member about an instant point of rotation that is defined at the intersection of the first and second linear travel paths.
