Mirror controller MR-E-3

The MR-E-3 controller is the ideal solution for driving the MR-series 2D fast steering mirrors. As a development kit, it consists of a base unit (with housing) and an integrated mirror head unit with mirror and proxy board. The development kit is recommended for testing and proof of concept work. The boards without housing are available as OEM version for integration with system electronics.

MR-E-3 Full development kit

The controller is compatible only with mirrors produced by Optotune Switzerland AG and allows various operation modes. The MR-E-3 can be controlled from a host PC via the Optotune Cockpit graphical user interface. In addition, the controller offers the following communication interfaces:

USB, UART
SPI, I2C
