We look forward to hearing from you!

Thorlabs' Fixed Mirror Mounts were designed to meet the needs of OEM customers. To that end, we are equipped to manufacture these base plates in high volumes and with timed delivery. Additionally, we can design and manufacture modified versions of these base plates to meet your specific needs.

If you have a custom or OEM project, we invite you to contact us to discuss how our engineering expertise and manufacturing capabilities can help you achieve your goals.

Features

• Attach OEM Fixed Optical Mounts via 1/4"-20 (M6 x 1.0) Mounting Features
• Mount on Breadboard or Optical Table via 1/4" (M6) Clearance Hole
• Suitable for Vacuum Applications 

Thorlabs' Base Plates for OEM Applications are designed to support a seamless transition from benchtop R&D to high-volume OEM laser system production. These base plates provide breadboard compatibility for prototyping flexibility and integration into full optical systems during the development phase. The mechanical footprint allows for direct transfer into the proven system, with a cavity-ready form factor supporting direct mounting into custom laser system substructures. This overall architecture enables OEM designers to rapidly develop and iterate optical systems on standard breadboards, then deploy those exact assemblies in production environments with no change in alignment geometry, reducing validation requirements and increasing long-term system reliability.

Each base plate is fabricated from unanodized 6061-T6 aluminum and double vacuum-bagged, making them suitable for cleanroom and vacuum chamber environments; vacuum specifications are provided in Table 1.1. Options include manual translation base plates, which provide up to 1.5" (31.8 mm) of linear mount travel, and rotation base plates, which offer up to 90° of rotational adjustment.
