Announcement of Sale Commencement for Mechano Transformer's Piezo Actuator Products: Achieving Nanometer-Accuracy Optical Alignment, Also Supporting Quantum Technology Fields

Kokyo Co., Ltd. has commenced sales of piezo actuator products manufactured by Mechano Transformer Inc. (hereinafter referred to as "Mechano Transformer"). These products are precision positioning solutions that achieve nanometer-level high-precision position control, capable of supporting advanced research applications, including the field of quantum technology.

Mechano Transformer was established in 2002, originating from the Higuchi Laboratory at the University of Tokyo. Based on piezo technology with nanometer-level resolution and high-speed response, they have built an integrated development system from design and prototyping to mass production. They have a track record in advanced fields such as silicon photonics and laser communications, providing products that support precision optical control technology.

This product lineup is a series of piezo actuators specialized for precision positioning applications. The representative product, "Piezo Assist Motor®," is a compact electric actuator with a resolution of less than 30 nm. By replacing the micrometer head of a precision stage, it enables nanometer-level positioning and automation. Furthermore, it possesses the characteristic of holding its position without power supply, contributing to stable optical alignment maintenance. When combined with external sensors, it also supports higher-precision feedback control.

The "Piezo Assist Stage" combines coarse and fine movement, achieving a balance between a maximum travel range of 13 mm and a resolution of 20 nm. It is configured suitably for research applications that demand precise position adjustment.

In quantum computing and quantum optics experiments, stabilizing laser optical paths, constructing interferometers, and achieving nanometer-precision positioning of optical elements are crucial. These products are expected to be utilized as actuators for realizing such high-precision optical alignment. Specifically, they possess characteristics suitable for optical system control in the quantum technology field, such as minute angular adjustments of mirror mounts (on the order of μrad) and precise positioning in microscopes and interferometers.

These products are suitable for the following applications: * Nanometer-level precision positioning * Optical alignment in quantum optics experiments * Interferometer construction and stabilization control * Microscope and high-resolution observation systems * Laser irradiation position adjustment and precision processing

Furthermore, when combined with dedicated controllers, they can support the construction of automatic control systems integrated with PCs and PLCs.

Our company offers various solutions suitable for quantum technology fields and precision optics applications, including Mechano Transformer's piezo actuator products. We can also provide consultations for product selection and system configuration tailored to specific applications. Additionally, we handle over 100,000 laser and optics-related products from more than 300 overseas manufacturers other than Mechano Transformer. Please feel free to contact us via the details below.
