A direct comparison between a MEMS deformable mirror and a liquid crystal spatial light modulator in signal-based wavefront sensing [PDF]
Journal of the European Optical Society-Rapid Publications, 2013 Aberrations degrade the performance of optical systems in terms of resolution and signal-to-noise ratio. This work explores the feasibility of a signal-based wavefront sensor, which employs a search algorithm to estimate Zernike coefficients of given ...

The deformable mirror demonstration mission (DeMi) CubeSat: optomechanical design validation and laboratory calibration [PDF]
Astronomical Telescopes + Instrumentation, 2018 Coronagraphs on future space telescopes will require precise wavefront correction to detect Earth-like exoplanets near their host stars. High-actuator count microelectromechanical system (MEMS) deformable mirrors provide wavefront control with low size ...

Research on a Decoupling Algorithm for the Dual-Deformable-Mirrors Correction System
Applied Sciences, 2023 Wavefront distortion caused by atmospheric turbulence can be described as different types of aberrations, such as piston, tilt, defocusing, astigmatism, coma and so on.

CIAO: An on-the-shelf adaptive optics system for astronomers [PDF]
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2023 Since 1990, adaptive optics are used in astronomy to remove the effects of atmospheric turbulence, and then retrieve diffraction-limited images, even in bad seeing conditions.

Recent Developments in (0,2) Mirror Symmetry [PDF]
SIGMA 8 (2012), 068, 28 pages, 2012 Mirror symmetry of the type II string has a beautiful generalization to the heterotic string. This generalization, known as (0,2) mirror symmetry, is a field still largely in its infancy. We describe recent developments including the ideas behind quantum sheaf cohomology, the mirror map for deformations of (2,2) mirrors, the construction of mirror ...

Active Optics in Astronomy: Freeform Mirror for the MESSIER Telescope Proposal
Mathematical and Computational Applications, 2018 Active optics techniques in astronomy provide high imaging quality. This paper is dedicated to highly deformable active optics that can generate non-axisymmetric aspheric surfaces—or freeform surfaces—by use of a minimum number of actuators ...

A Mirror Theorem for the Mirror Quintic [PDF]
Geom. Topol. 18 (2014) 1437-1483, 2012 The celebrated Mirror Theorem states that the genus zero part of the A model (quantum cohomology, rational curves counting) of the Fermat quintic threefold is equivalent to the B model (complex deformation, variation of Hodge structure) of its mirror dual orbifold. In this article, we establish a mirror-dual statement.
