Growing concurrently with the discovery and development of nanophotonic devices, silicon lasers, microelectromechanical systems technology and ultrafast techniques is the need to incorporate motorized positioning. Tests have shown that humans typically have no bet ter than 1° adjustment sensitivity in their fingers, which means a 705nm linear translation on a screw with 100 threads per inch. This type of screw, mounted in a 1-in. mirror mount, typically would pr ovide 28 μrad, or 5.8 arc sec, of angular sensitivity. This does not include the vibrations induced by simply touching the screw.
