Optical Tables

Thorlabs manufactures a complete line of optical tables and optical table supports with advanced vibration isolation features. The optical tables feature flat surfaces, an interior honeycomb design for maximum stiffness, and an internal damping mechanism that minimizes the effects of vibrations created on the optical table surface. Rigid, passive, and active optical table supports are available to isolate the table top from floor vibrations.

	Stiffness: Tabletop"s capability to resist bending to an applied force or load, reducing the deflection between two components on the table top"s surface.
	Damping: Tabletop"s ability to dissipate energy from an induced vibration on the table top"s surface, reducing its magnitude and duration.
