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.

Theoretical simulation and experimental verification of dynamic caustic manipulation using a deformable mirror for laser material processing [PDF]
Journal of Optics & Laser Technology, 149, 107814 (2022), 2021 The influence of a deformable mirror on spatial light modulation in ultrafast lasers processing is demonstrated. The deformable mirror was integrated into an optical setup which contains an additional lens for generating a nearly linear focus shift in the focal plane behind the f-theta lens. The deformation of the mirror surface can be described by the

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.

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 ...
