Kinematic high bandwidth mirror mount

An adjustable high bandwidth mount for a mirror comprising:

• a) a mirror support base member having a horizontal portion and a vertical portion having a planar side surface thereon;
• b) a mirror frame containing a mirror and having a planar rear surface behind said mirror parallel to a reflective surface of said mirror and facing said planar side surface of said mirror support base member;
• c) a pivotal ball serving as a central pivot mount for mounting said mirror frame centrally to said vertical portion of said base member, said central pivot mount including
• a sphere partially received in a conical opening in said planar side surface of said mirror frame and;
• a conical opening in said planar side surface of said mirror support base member of smaller diameter than said sphere;
• d) first adjustment means in said vertical portion of said mirror support base member, said first adjustment means including
• first yieldable means coupled between said mirror frame and said mirror support base member for biasing said mirror frame toward said mirror support base member;
• and
• first adjustable driver means mounted in said mirror support base member and in contact with said mirror frame at a first contact point to resist said bias of said first yieldable means
• the first adjustable means being operationally coupled to said planar rear surface of said mirror frame spaced from said central pivot mount for adjusting the movement of said mirror about one axis lying in the plane of said reflective surface of said mirror;
• and
• e) second adjustment means in said vertical portion of said mirror support base member, said second adjustment means including:
• second yieldable means coupled between said mirror frame and said mirror support base member for biasing said mirror frame toward said mirror support;
• and
• second adjustable driver means mounted to said mirror support base member and in contact with said mirror frame at a second contact point to resist said bias of said second yieldable means
• said second adjustable means being operationally coupled to said planar surface of said mirror frame and spaced from said central pivot mount for adjusting the movement of said mirror about a second axis lying in the plane of said reflective surface of said mirror and perpendicular to said first axis.
