Stroke amplifier for deformable mirrors [PDF]
Applied Optics, 2004 We demonstrate a simple optical configuration that amplifies the usable stroke of a deformable mirror. By arranging for the wavefront to traverse the deformable mirror more than once, we correct it more than once. The experimental implementation of the idea demonstrates a doubling of 2.0 and 2.04 by two different means.

Active Optics–Freeform Segment Mirror Replications from a Deformable Matrix
Photonics, 2022 We present a new active optics method for making smooth aspheric, or freeform, mirrors by replication technique from an elastically deformable matrix.

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 ...

Calibration and performance evaluation of a monomorph deformable mirror
Results in Optics, 2022 To achieve diffraction-limited performance with a 50 cm solar telescope at the Udaipur solar observatory the development of a high-order adaptive optics (AO) system is currently in progress. The system includes a monomorph deformable mirror (MDM) with 85

Literature Review on Adaptive Optics [PDF]
INCAS BulletinAdaptive optics (AO) is defined as a technology developed to compensate for wavefront distortions caused by atmospheric turbulence or microscopic heterogeneities, thereby enhancing image quality in observational astronomy and biological microscopy.

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.

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 ...
