Fabry-perot interferometer with piezoelectric actuator contracting in radial direction on membrane

摘要

The present invention relates to an actuator for moving a rigid element, e.g. an optical element such as mirror (1), the element being mechanically coupled to a frame (4) with a bendable coupling (2A), wherein actuator elements (3A, 3B) are mounted on said coupling between the frame and element, the coupling and actuator elements being adapted to provide a movement to the element when subject to signal from a signal generator.
