A device that is configured to detect spectrally resolved emission from a material is disclosed. The device includes an optical cavity comprising a pair of substrates separated by a distance defined to restrict a photonic density of states (DOS) of the material to be detected, a detector oriented with respect to the optical cavity to receive emission from the optical cavity and a controller configured to control the distance. The pair of substrates includes facing reflective surfaces.

Device and method to spectrally resolve optical radiation

A piezoelectric motor comprises a frame having a first frame side and a second frame side; a first actuator assembly and a second actuator assembly. The first actuator assembly comprises a first piezoelectric actuator and two rollers, each of the rollers is pressed between the first piezoelectric actuator and the first frame side. The second actuator assembly comprises a second piezoelectric actuator and two rollers, each of the rollers is pressed between the second piezoelectric actuator and the second frame side. The motor further comprises at least one pre-loaded spring provided between the first actuator assembly and the second actuator assembly, pushing the first actuator assembly and the second actuator assembly against the first frame side and the second frame side, respectively.

High performance piezoelectric motor

Apparatus for transmitting motion to a moveable body comprising: a first bar having ends; two articulated arms, each comprising first and second arms connected at a joint having an axis about which the first and second arms rotate, wherein the first arms are of equal length, the second arms are of equal length and the second arm of each articulated arm is connected to a different end of the bar at a joint having an axis about which second arm and bar rotate; a mount connected to the first arm of each articulated arm at a joint having an axis about which first arm rotates; a second bar coupled to each articulated arm at a joint having an axis about which the second bar rotates; and a piezoelectric motor coupled to the first bar controllable to apply a force selectively in either direction along the bar's length; wherein, the joints are configured so that all the axes are substantially parallel and the first arms are parallel and the second arms are parallel for all rotations about the axes.

Piezoelectric transmission systems

A camera having an optic axis and comprising: a lens having a lens optic axis; a platform to which the lens is mounted; a guide track to which the platform is mounted and along which the platform is moveable; wherein the guide track is rotatable between a first position in which the optic axis of the lens substantially coincides with the camera optic axis and a second position in which the lens optic axis does not coincide with the camera optic axis.

Zoom lens apparatus with a piezoelectrically driven moveable platform

A mirror system comprising: a mirror; at least one piezoelectric motor having a coupling surface for coupling the motor to a moveable body; at least one spherical contact surface coupled to the mirror; and a motor mounting frame that holds a piezoelectric motor of the at least one piezoelectric motor and presses the piezoelectric motor coupling surface to a contact surface of the spherical contact surface; wherein the motor is controllable to apply force to the contact surface that rotates the mirror.

Controllably coupled piezoelectric motors

A transport system for moving and positioning an object comprising: a tube () having an axis of rotation and formed with threads () on at least a portion of its surface; at least one platform () to which the object () is mountable having threads that mesh with the threads of the tube; at least one linear guide () along which the at least one platform moves freely that prevents rotation of the at least one platform when the tube rotates about its axis of rotation; and a piezoelectric motor controllable to rotate the tube and thereby selectively translate the at least one platform in either direction along the tube's axis of rotation.
