The FLAME bench is an opto-mechanical device specifically designed and integrated to allow the measurement of optical vibrations on a large format, floating active mirror. The system includes a state of the art, high speed, dynamic interferometer, relay optics, a vacuum chamber, a 40 cm, 19 actuators active mirror, electronics for vibration injection and monitor.

The device is currently installed in the ADONI optical laboratory at INAF - Osservatorio Astrofisico di Arcetri, Firenze (ITALY).
