(1) in laser systems, even very small jitter/vibrations can cause inaccurate focusing, which in turn affects the overall performance of the system. In addition, the optical system is very susceptible to various dynamic disturbances in the external environment
(2) During the laser transmission process, the vibration caused by various reasons can affect the stability of the light beam pointing, and the pointing accuracy is reduced. The laser stability requirement in laser fine processing is very high, for example, the laser deflection angle is required to be not more than 500nrad, which is difficult to achieve in general application.
Therefore, precise control of laser deflection is required during laser precision machining.
