Aluminum Optical Breadboard

Ⅰ. The key technical parameters and characteristics of optical breadboards

Materials and structure of high-precision optical breadboards

• The material of the aluminum optical breadboard: It adopts high-strength aluminum alloy (such as 6061-T6 or 7075-T6), is lightweight (density approximately 2.7g /cm³), and has high rigidity (elastic modulus ≈70 GPa).

• Anodized optical breadboard: Anodizing process (black or silver), enhancing wear resistance and corrosion resistance. Some models are equipped with anti-static coatings.

• Flatness: Flatness ≤50µm/m, ensuring the alignment accuracy of optical components after installation.

Compatibility design of high-precision optical breadboards

• Screw hole standard :

• The transverse/longitudinal hole spacing is typically 25mm (1 inch) or a mixed grid of 1 inch ×0.5 inches, suitable for ISO standard optical components (such as lens mounts and lens seats).

• The commonly used thread specifications are M6, 1/4"-20 or 3/8"-16, which are used in conjunction with the optical platform installation accessories.

• Size matching: Multiple specifications, which can be directly embedded in the optical platform frame or stacked through support components. Custom-sized aluminum optical breadboards are also available.

• Functional advantage

• Modular Optical Breadboard: Fixed to the optical platform by bolts, it can quickly build multi-layer optical path systems (such as laser splitting and spectral detection modules).

• The shock absorption characteristics of the temperature-stabilized aluminum polished breadboard: The damping effect of the aluminum alloy material can reduce the interference of high-frequency vibration. Some models are equipped with rubber vibration isolation floor MATS to further optimize stability.

Ⅱ. Typical application scenarios

• The construction of the optical experiment system

In the university physics laboratory, the laboratory-grade optical breadboard is used as the basic platform for Laser interferometers and diffraction experiments, and is combined with the optical platform to extend the length of the optical path.

In the scientific research scenario, the laboratory-grade optical breadboard is used to

construct compact spectrometers and fiber-coupled systems, and achieve multi-module integration by superimposing the breadboard.

• Industrial Automation and Inspection

In the machine vision system, the Laser-Specific Optical Breadboard installs and connects the light source, lens, and camera module to the optical platform of the production line to realize the online inspection of the workpiece.

In Laser processing equipment, the Laser-specific Optical Breadboard, as the workpiece carrying platform, cooperates with the laser head on the optical platform to achieve high-precision processing path control.

• Aerospace and portable devices

The lightweight Optical system of Aerospace-Compliant Optical Breadboard in satellite payloads utilizes the lightweight characteristic of aluminum alloy breadboard and is fixed to the platform structure through standard interfaces at the same time.

The Aerospace-Compliant Optical Breadboard, as the core carrier of the optical path in portable spectrometers or lidars, is suitable for the installation requirements of vehicle-mounted or unmanned aerial vehicle platforms.
