Global Fast Steering Mirrors (FSM) Market Definition

A fast steering mirror (FSM) is a physical system consisting of a reflective mirror, a pair of motion tracking sensors, a displacement actuator, and a processing unit that receives an incident signal beam at right angles or redirects it in a specific direction. Its system can tilt around two axes as the processor directs. A fast steering mirror (FSM) is an electromechanical device used in various applications requiring precise and fast light beam steering. They are commonly used in laser, imaging, and visual communication systems.

The primary purpose of FSM is to control the direction of light beams quickly and precisely. An FSM consists of a mirror mounted on a fast-moving platform or actuator that can promptly tilt and rotate the mirror in response to control signals. By adjusting the angle or position of the mirror, the FSM can change the direction of the incoming light beam.

The FSM is designed for fast response time and high angular resolution, allowing rapid adjustments to compensate for vibration, noise, or changes in target or reference position. These mirrors are often used in control systems where feedback sensors provide information about current conditions or identify errors, allowing the FSM to correct and stabilize the light beam continuously. They are used for laser beam steering and help control the path of the laser beam for tasks such as laser marking, cutting, and material processing.

FSMs are also used in optical imaging systems to allow precise tracking and alignment of the optical axis. Furthermore, FSMs are key components in free-space optical communication systems, enabling long-range monitoring and maintenance of laser beams.
