Vibration isolation systems are the most important part of state-of-the-art vibration control arsenal. The goal of this White Paper is to help users and designers of vibration-isolated platforms understand basic dynamics of such platforms, methods of describing their performance, advantages and disadvantages of possible principal design solutions. Any well-designed vibration isolation system has two main components: soft isolators and a stiff platform. Isolated platforms are the mainstay of vibration control techniques in precision optomechanics and photonics. The prime examples of such platforms are state-ofthe-art optical tables with honeycomb cores; other examples include granite slabs, frames, solid plates, stiff casings, and other structures perceived as sturdy and stable.
