Actively Stabilized Hand-Held Laser Pointer Development by New Scale Technologies

New Scale Technologies (NST) in Victor, NY is pioneering an actively stabilized hand-held laser pointer designed to counteract unwanted vibrations. This innovative device aims to enhance user experience in presentations, medical imaging, and defense applications by utilizing piezoelectrics and mirrors to steer the laser beam. Key challenges involve optimizing package size, operating conditions, and signal response time. By addressing these requirements, NST seeks to deliver a precise, user-friendly product that meets diverse customer needs while ensuring effective stabilization.

  2. The Team

  3. New Scale Technologies • NST is a local company in Victor, NY • Specializes in micro motion systems • Small • Precise • Smart • Supplied laser steering module • No active stabilization

  4. Problem Statement There are many people today who use laser for various applications: to aid in presentations, medical imaging, and defense. Under many use scenarios they are negatively affected by unwanted vibrations, one such example is a nervous presenter using a laser pointer. New Scale Technologies (NST) has developed a proprietary module that steers a laser beam using piezoelectrics and mirrors. Currently they cannot actively detect and compensate for hand vibrations. To achieve this a handheld and user friendly unit is to be developed utilizing the NST module. Concerns for development include: package size, operating temperature and duration, and unwanted motion attenuation.
