A magnetic liquid deformable mirror for high stroke and low order axially symmetrical aberrations [PDF]
We present a new class of magnetically shaped deformable liquid mirrors made of a magnetic liquid (ferrofluid). Deformable liquid mirrors offer advantages with respect to deformable solid mirrors: large deformations, low costs and the possibility of very

Calibration of Deformable Mirrors for Open-Loop Control. [PDF]
Deformable mirrors enable the control of wave fronts for the compensation of aberrations in optical systems and/or for beam scanning. Manufacturers of deformable mirrors typically provide calibration data that encode for the fabrication tolerances among ...

Wavefront sensing with a brightest pixel selection algorithm [PDF]
Astronomical adaptive optics systems with open-loop deformable mirror control have recently come on-line. In these systems, the deformable mirror surface is not included in the wavefront sensor paths, and so changes made to the deformable mirror are not ...

Swept source optical coherence tomography Gabor fusion splicing technique for microscopy of thick samples using a deformable mirror [PDF]
We present a swept source optical coherence tomography (OCT) system at 1060 nm equipped with a wavefront sensor at 830 nm and a deformable mirror in a closed-loop adaptive optics (AO) system.

Suppressing low-order eigenmodes with local control for deformable mirrors [PDF]
To improve the mechanical characteristics of actively controlled continuous faceplate deformable mirrors in adaptive optics, a strategy for reducing crosstalk between adjacent actuators and for suppressing low-order eigenmodes is proposed.

Characterization of a Deformable Mirror for astronomical applications [PDF]
openI will demonstrate the compensation of a perturbed wavefront through the utilization of a deformable mirror. This involves an exploration of the modal framework and the decomposition of a wavefront using Zernike polynomials.

Phase control of a longitudinal momentum entangled photon state by a deformable membrane mirror
We propose a paradigmatic demonstration of the potentialities of a deformable mirror for closed-loop control of a two-photon momentum-entangled state, subject to phase fluctuations.

Bi-photon propagation control with optimized wavefront by means of Adaptive Optics
We present an efficient method to control the spatial modes of entangled photons produced through SPDC process. Bi-photon beam propagation is controlled by a deformable mirror, that shapes a 404nm CW diode laser pump interacting with a nonlinear BBO type-
