Active optics: deformable mirrors with a minimum number of actuators [PDF]
Journal of the European Optical Society-Rapid Publications, 2012 We present two concepts of deformable mirror to compensate for first order optical aberrations. Deformation systems are designed using both elasticity theory and Finite Element Analysis in order to minimize the number of actuators.
