The basic MG-145 is a flat-bed mount providing pitch and azimuth adjustment. It was designed for the precise
alignment of Pockels cells having a flat mounting area and where substantial weight and the tension of heavy electrical cables makes other gimbals unacceptable. Two axis angular adjustment is made by precision micrometers. The device is free from cross coupling. Both axes can be independently locked in position. Resolution is 3 arcseconds
with an angular range of ±5o.
The MGC-145 employs a C shaped mounting clamp fastened to the basic MG-145. The clamp is designed for
Pockels cell with an industry standard outer diameter of 1.375″ (35 mm) such as Lasermetrics 1059 Series
Pockels cell Q-switches.
The MGV-145 model provides “V” block mounting for cylindrical elements such as Lasermetrics’ Q-switches and
low voltage modulators. This unit will accept diameters up to 3.0″ (75 mm). A plastic strap or optional aluminum clamp is provided for locking the element into the “V” block.
