HIn research it is often necessary to conduct experiments or take measurements in a vibration-free environment. However, sources of vibration such as air conditioners, heat pumps, and road and transportation systems contribute to a largely unavoidable vibrational background noise that is coupled to the surrounding environment. Optical systems comprised from multiple components that must be individually mounted and aligned in a precise and rigid fashion are particularly vulnerable to vibration-induced performance degradation. For example, many laser applications require a beam waist of a few microns; if the position of this spot is critical to system performance (e.g., using an ion laser to pump a jet stream dye laser), then vibrations with amplitudes in the micron range will inevitably cause experimental failure. Since visible light has sub-micron wavelengths, interferometry-based experiments (including holography) may also be impossible to perform in the presence of vibrations, even if they are sub-micron in amplitude.
