Iranian Scientists Produce Tool for Highly-Accurate Movement of Optical Lenses
The ‘Nano Focus Piezo’ actuator, produced in the Iranian technological company, uses piezoelectric technology to adjust the focus of the microscope lens with nanometer precision.
The tool can also be used in very precise optical settings in laser interferometry for focusing lens of microscopes and other optical arrangements.
Accurate focus can be used in microscopic and optical systems like confocal microscopes and laser interferometric systems.
Also, ‘piezo angular control with nanometer precision’ actuator is another product of the company which is stationed at the technology service complex of Sharif University of Technology.
In a relevant development, an Iranian knowledge-based company produced a Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) system to make optical devices.
“Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) has been designed based on using electron beam at optic and laser accuracy. It has the capability of thin film coating in special parts,” Mohammad Mirzaei, a representative of an Iranian technological company said, according to Pardis Technology Park’s public relations department.
The PVD is one of the vacuum coating processes in which the film of coating material is usually deposited atom by atom on a substrate by condensation from the vapor phase to the solid phase, a definition available on the Internet online said.
He explained how the system works and added that a variety of companies in the country use his company's system.
“All companies, technological centers, universities and manufacturing units that operate in the field of manufacturing optical devices, such as Isfahan National Center for Laser and Optical Industries, use the PVD,” the researcher explained.
