Spectroscopic sensors have been used in the field of optics and chemical analysis, and the need for remote gas monitoring in a portable form has increased. Hence, it is essential to design, manufacture, and develop a moving mirror, which that can generate the optical path difference for spectroscopic sensor. It is important to verify whether it can satisfy design requirements for the actual spectroscopic interferometer application by evaluating its performance. In this paper, a moving mirror assembly with high-speed transfer capability for a portable spectroscopic sensor is fabricated and tested. For application to a portable spectrometer, design requirements, such as moving distance, speed, and stiffness, are set and the mechanical structure, including the voice coil motor and elastic guide, satisfying these requirements is proposed. Through finite element analysis, performance of the proposed moving mirror assembly is predicted. By testing the performance after fabrication, it is verified that the proposed mirror is capable of linear movement with travel distance of several millimeters and moving speed of tens of Hz. Optical testing result shows that the proposed moving mirror can generate linear motion with a tilting error below 10 arcsecond and can be applied to the actual spectroscopic interferometer in future.
