Surface micromachined deformable mirrors

Proceedings 1996 IEEE Conference on Emerging Technologies and Factory Automation. ETFA '96, 2002
At Boston University, we have begun a project on surface-machined microactuators coordinated to achieve precision actuation and control of deformable mirrors for modulation of optical wavefronts. The mirror is supported on a massively parallel system of electrostatically-controlled, interconnected microactuators that can be coordinated to achieve ...

Discrete Actuator Deformable Mirror

Optical Engineering, 1981
A discrete actuator deformable surface device, which provides as much as 12 pm of surface deformation using ±1 kV, has been developed at Itek. The discrete actuator device, made from bonded layers of piezoelectric discs, has been continuously exercised for a period of several hundred hours.

Tiny Multilayer Deformable Mirrors

2006 International Workshop on Laser and Fiber-Optical Networks Modeling, 2006
Formation of the given laser beam intensity and phase is an important practical and scientific problem. Bimorph flexible mirror is one of the most widely used devices for this purpose. We present a new approach of multilayer bimorph mirrors and a numerical model to simulate them, based on the finite elements method.

Modeling large deformable mirrors

SPIE Proceedings, 2008
Planned Extremely Large Telescopes will rely oil availability of large Deformable Mirror in the 2-3m class. Design and construction of such mirrors are challenging and call for powerful simulation tools. We present an evaluation model which is used to study performance of a large deformable mirror for three: actuator topologies. Back sensors topologies

Magnetic Fluid Deformable Mirrors

2012
The number of new adaptive optics applications has soared during the last decade, demonstrating the need for low-cost, high-stroke deformable mirrors with a large number of actuators. Magnetic fluid deformable mirrors (MFDMs) were proposed a few years ago as an alternative to conventional membrane deformable mirrors used in wavefront correctors. Though

Micromachined silicon deformable mirror

SPIE Proceedings, 1998
A new silicon deformable mirror design is presented which provides high reflectivity, an optical quality continuous surface, and high intensity handling capacity. Its features make it useful for a wide range of devices including telescopes, leasers, and photolithographic systems.

Segmented bimorph deformable mirror

Journal of Physics E: Scientific Instruments, 1989
The efficient low-voltage bending properties of PZT bimorph wafers have been combined with conventional microelectronics techniques to produce a 37-hex-faceted deformable mirror 23 mm in diameter and 1 mm thick. Despite the high ratio of diameter to thickness, at 633 nm an overall flatness of better than one-half wave peak-to-valley (PV) and one-tenth ...

Bistable Deformable Mirror Device

Spatial Light Modulators and Applications, 1988
The bistable DMD is the digital version of a class of reflective, micromechanical spatial light modulators (SLMs) known as deformable mirror devices (DMDs). In its earliest form the DMD was a hybrid SLM consisting of a metalized polymer mirror bonded to an underlying silicon address circuit[1,2].

Deformable segmented mems mirror

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2005
A MEMS device having a deformable segmented mirror. The mirror includes a plurality of movable segments supported on a substrate using spring vertices, each vertex having a fixed plate and one or more springs. In a representative embodiment, three springs support each movable segment, where each spring connects the movable segment to a different spring
