Construction and characterization of a frequency-controlled, picometer-resolution, displacement encoder-actuator

The data associated with this publication are within the manuscript.
Abstract

We have constructed an actuator/encoder whose generated displacement is controlled through the resonance frequency of a microwave cavity. A compact, 10-μm-range, digitally controlled actuator executing frequency-coded displacement with picometer resolution is described. We consider this approach particularly suitable for metrologic-precision scanning probe microscopy.
