Abstract
A mirror mount includes a two-axis mirror flexure mount with increased stiffness in all but the desired degrees of freedom. The mount is an integrally formed support for a mirror and includes a rigid portion, a plurality of base portions suitable for mounting the mirror thereto, and a plurality of substantially linear flexure elements disposed between the mount portion and the base portion to connect the mount portion and the base portion together. The flexure elements each define an axis of rotation and are operable to allow the mount portion to rotate relative to the base portion along either axis of rotation.
