PI's ultra fast steering mirror platforms are based on frictionless flexure guides and high-speed solid-state piezoelectric drives. They are faster than galvo-scanners and voice-coil drives and can be used in both static and highly dynamic operation (e.g. scanning, tracking, drift and vibration cancellation).

Advantages of the PI steering mirrors are: parallel kinematics design (coplanar multiaxis motion), fast response (sub-millisecond), high resolution (up to nanoradian range), long travel ranges (up to 6 degrees deflection).
