Narrowband Damping with Tuned Dampers

The primary reason why Newport RS Series passive damped optical tables are superior to all other products is their use of tuned vibration absorbers for narrowband damping. Commonly called "Tuned Dampers", these devices selectively eliminate a fundamental structural table mode and its entire harmonics. Multiple tuned dampers can be selected to eliminate multiple modes along with the resulting mode harmonics. Tuned damping is the most effective means of reducing relative motion across the table surface.
