New Flexure Mirror Mount with Bi-Directional Clear Edge
New Flexure Mirror Mount with Bi-Directional Clear Edge
Newport’s Top Adjust Flexure Mirror Mounts are designed for compact OEM beam-splitting and combining applications. The flexure mechanism enables backlash-free motion, while top adjust hex key adjusters support safe, space-efficient alignment. Clear edges on both sides prevent beam clipping at 45-degree incidence and allow bi-directional use, ensuring long-term mechanical stability and reliable performance.
- Bi-Directional Clear Edge design for unobstructed 45° beam paths
- Compact flexure mount for tight setups
- Top-adjust screws keep hands out of beam path
- Low wavefront distortion, set screw, or threaded bore style optic mounting See All Features

Features
Bi-Directional Clear Edge for Beamsplitting Application
The Clear Edge design enables unobstructed 45° beam transmission through the mount, making it ideal for beam-splitting or beam-combining applications where maintaining a clean optical path is critical. By removing material along the beam path, this design allows the transmitted beam to pass freely without clipping or distortion, even in compact setups. The new bi-directional MFM series supports bi-directional use, offering flexibility, and is especially beneficial in applications requiring precise alignment and minimal interference with the optical axis.
Keep Your Hands Out of Harm's Way
Top-adjust mirror mounts are designed with their adjustment screws positioned on the top of the mount instead of behind it. This allows users to make precise angular changes without reaching into the beam path, improving safety by keeping hands and tools away from active optical paths. The top-access design also enables tighter packing of mounts where compact setups are required. Adjustment in image shown using 2 mm hex knob.
Optic Size Compatibility
Top Adjust Flexure Mounts with Bi-Directional Clear Edge support optics in 0.5 inch, 0.75 inch, and 1.0 inch diameters, each tailored to accommodate different beam sizes. At a 45 degree angle of incidence, the maximum supported beam diameters are 3.2 mm, 6 mm, and 9 mm respectively. This range enables seamless integration into both compact and mid-scale optical systems, offering flexibility for diverse design requirements.
Versatile Optic Mounting Options
Designed to accommodate a range of optic thicknesses and deliver dependable performance across setups.
- Set Screw: Applies radial pressure to hold standard-thickness optics and includes glue wells for optional adhesive retention
- Threaded: A retaining ring secures thin optics in the threaded bore (only available in 1.0 in. size)
- Low Wavefront Distortion: Spring clip with 3-point axial clamping minimizes mounting stress and distortion
Beam Monitoring Applications Made Easy
The Clear Edge feature enables a beam monitoring setup commonly used in applications requiring real-time feedback. A portion of the laser beam is sampled and directed into a power meter for measurement, while the main beam continues unobstructed toward the experiment. This configuration supports system tuning and diagnostics without compromising beam integrity.
