Wide-Aperture Bimorph Deformable Mirror for Beam Focusing in 4.2 PW Ti:Sa Laser
Applied Sciences, 2022 The bimorph deformable mirror with a diameter of 320 mm, including 127 control electrodes, has been developed and tested. The flatness of the initial mirror surface of about 1 μm (P-V) was achieved by mechanically adjusting the mirror substrate fixed in ...

A Study on a Single Continuous Deformable Mirror for Correction of Atmospheric Disturbance [PDF]
한국정밀공학회지, 2018 The deformable mirror is the main component of the adaptive optical imaging system, which removes the atmospheric disturbance and acquires the target image without any loss and the beam transmission system, which transmits the laser beam to a long ...

Ultralightweight deformable mirrors [PDF]
Applied Optics, 2013 This paper presents a concept for ultralightweight deformable mirrors, based on a thin substrate of optical surface quality, coated with continuous active layers that provide separate modes of actuation at different length scales. This concept eliminates any kind of stiff backing structure for the mirror surface and exploits microfabrication ...

Photonics, 2023 Atmospheric turbulence causes refractive index fluctuations, which in turn introduce extra distortions to the wavefront of the propagated radiation. It ultimately degrades telescope resolution (in imaging applications) and reduces radiation power density

Nanolaminate Deformable Mirrors [PDF]
IEEE/LEOS International Conference on Optical MEMS and Their Applications Conference, 2006., 2006 The paper describes two similar deformable mirrors that will demonstrate the feasibility of nanolaminate-based deformable mirrors over a wide range of size scales. Two complementary technologies: high-spatial-density electrostatic actuators and thin, flexible, lightweight nanolaminate foils are combined.

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.
