We offer fifteen different types of clean and vacuum compatible mounts all designed with unique features for different applications. Whether you need a vacuum mount with top-mounted adjusters, low-stress optic mounting or locking actuators, it is available here.

After we complete design, manufacturing, and packaging we conduct TD-GC-MS (Thermal Desorption Gas chromatography–mass spectrometry) testing on the final product. The TD-GC-MS report identifies the outgas substance and rate at which it outgases. The TD-GC-MS test results can be used to determine if the addition of the low-outgassing mount will permit a vacuum chamber to pump down to a desired base pressure.

This ULTIMA Clear Quadrant Mirror Mount offers unsurpassed functionality for clean or high-vacuum environments. Thick front and rear plates and optimized, stiff springs improve the long-term stability and provide greater protection against vibrations. The patented clear quadrant design exposes the edge of the optic, allowing beams to pass close to the edge of a mounted optic. The actuators can be quickly changed to accommodate a broad selection of adjustment screws, micrometers, and motorized actuators. Polished carbide pads enable smooth, repeatable motion. A large array of optical mounting accessories is available for these mounts making ULTIMA a basic building block for many optical systems. This optical mount for 1 inch (25.4 mm) diameter optics includes two 100 TPI locking actuators with hex key providing ±7° of tip/tilt adjustment. Convenient clearance mounting holes on each of two sides are compatible with either 8-32 or M4 screws providing quicker, more precise, and more secure mounting. ULTIMA mounts can be mounted to posts for adjustable height or pedestal posts for a stable fixed height.

Many laser-based applications require extra care to reduce volatile organic compounds (VOC) and ensure added cleanliness. VOCs and other contaminates can deposit on to optical surfaces causing degradation in output power, beam quality, and wavelength. Newport now offers certain Opto-Mechanical components that are specially prepared with clear anodize, nickel plating or stainless steel materials, special lubrication and vacuum-level cleaning. Products are packaged in Class 1000 (ISO 6) cleanroom grade bagging material and then double-bagged for further cleanliness precautions. We call these products, LaserClean™ and designate them with a -LC suffix. For more information please visit LaserClean Low VOC Optical Components Page.
