Abstract

An electromagnetic actuator used with a segmented optical element includes a central pole piece that is affixed at one end to the segment, and is movable along a displacement axis. Oppositely wound, longitudinally displaced electical coils on the pole piece are encompassed by an outer magnet. Pole piece displacement is the result of the net axial force generated from the current flowing through the coils.
