A Demonstration of Wavefront Sensing and Mirror Phasing from the Image Domain [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
In astronomy and microscopy, distortions in the wavefront affect the dynamic range of a high contrast imaging system. These aberrations are either imposed by a turbulent medium such as the atmosphere, by static or thermal aberrations in the optical path,

Phase control of a longitudinal momentum entangled photon state by a deformable membrane mirror

open access: yes, 2009
We propose a paradigmatic demonstration of the potentialities of a deformable mirror for closed-loop control of a two-photon momentum-entangled state, subject to phase fluctuations.

Concept, modeling, and performance prediction of a low-cost, large deformable mirror [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
While it is attractive to integrate a deformable mirror (DM) for adaptive optics (AO) into the telescope itself rather than using relay optics within an instrument, the resulting large DM can be expensive, particularly for extremely large telescopes.

Mode-Voltage Constrained Control for Adaptive Optics System

open access: yesIEEE Photonics Journal
In the adaptive optics system of astronomical observation, the deformable mirror and the tip/tilt mirror are coupled during the correction process.

Adaptive Optical Closed-Loop Control Based on the Single-Dimensional Perturbation Descent Algorithm

open access: yesSensors, 2023
Modal-free optimization algorithms do not require specific mathematical models, and they, along with their other benefits, have great application potential in adaptive optics.

Bi-photon propagation control with optimized wavefront by means of Adaptive Optics

open access: yes, 2012
We present an efficient method to control the spatial modes of entangled photons produced through SPDC process. Bi-photon beam propagation is controlled by a deformable mirror, that shapes a 404nm CW diode laser pump interacting with a nonlinear BBO type-

A Design Approach to Reducing Stress and Distortion Caused by Adhesive Assembly in Micromachined Deformable Mirrors

open access: yesMicromachines, 2023
A common problem in deformable mirror assembly is that the adhesion of actuators to an optical mirror face sheet introduces unwanted topography due to large local stresses generated at the adhesive joint.

The Deformable Mirror Demonstration Mission (DeMi) CubeSat: optomechanical design validation and laboratory calibration

open access: yes, 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 ...

Calibration of force actuators on an adaptive secondary prototype [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
In the context of the Large Binocular Telescope project, we present the results of force actuator calibrations performed on an adaptive secondary prototype called P45, a thin deformable glass with magnets glued onto its back.

Nine toes; Mirror Foot Deformity

open access: yesIndian Journal of Orthopaedics, 2015
Mirror foot is a very rare congenital anomaly, with only a few papers presenting definitive treatment for this entity. There are limited management recommendations. Most cases are treated before walking age. In our case, there were no associated developmental defects of the leg. The child underwent complex rays resection with medial foot reconstruction.
