Abstract
A magnetostrictively driven tilt-mirror mount for image stabilization of NA SA's Marshall Space Flight Center's Experimental Vector Magnetograph has be en designed, built, and tested. A simple improvement in the mounting techni que of the actuator resulted in a factor of 3 increase in the lowest resona nt frequency of the device. The tilt-mirror device was built, and the lowes t structural resonant frequency was experimentally found to be 603 Hz. (C) 1999 Optical Society of America.
