High performance laser shutter using a hard disk drive voice-coil actuator

Voice-coil motors in computer hard disk drives are shown to make excellent mechanical shutters for light beams. Shutter speeds in excess of 10  mm / ms are attained, allowing switching of a focused beam in under 10 μ s . Aperture size can be up to 32  mm . As little as 1  mW of power is required for...

description Voice-coil motors in computer hard disk drives are shown to make excellent mechanical shutters for light beams. Shutter speeds in excess of 10  mm / ms are attained, allowing switching of a focused beam in under 10 μ s . Aperture size can be up to 32  mm . As little as 1  mW of power is required for shutter operation. The shutter can be driven with a sinusoidal signal to switch at up to 100  Hz . The shutter is also suitable for x-ray applications. Essentially no modification of the drive or actuator is required for most types of operation.
