MEMS mirror with tip or piston motion for use in adaptive optics

open access: closedThe Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2008
An array of high fill factor mirrors has each mirror be coupled across two deformable spring bars that are deformed using a drive. The two deformable springs are parallel to each other, and coupled together, e.g., by a cross bar. A support is coupled at one end to the cross bar and at its opposite end to the mirror. Coupled across the deformable spring

In situ pressure calibration for piston cylinder cells via ruby fluorescence with fiber optics

open access: closedReview of Scientific Instruments, 2007
A fiber-optic measurement technique is developed for estimating the pressure inside a piston cylinder cell up to approximately 4 GPa, based on the pressure-induced R1 fluorescence line shift of ruby (ruby scale).

<title>High-accuracy white-light optical piston sensor for segmented optics</title>

open access: closedSPIE Proceedings, 1993
A novel piston sensing concept is described for measuring piston over the +/- 0.5 wave range. The image of a white light point source is optically processed using a half-wave phase plate to enhance the presence of piston in the incident wavefront. The resultant point spread function is recorded on a CCD camera and analyzed using a simple intensity ...

Piston alignment of segmented optical mirrors via convolutional neural networks

Optics Letters, 2018
Most of the methods used today for the alignment of segmented mirrors are based on Shack-Hartman wavefront sensors. Other proposed methods are based on curvature sensors. These can be used to cross-check the measurements given by the primary method. We investigate a different approach which employs convolutional neural networks.

Wide-range, high-accuracy, white light piston sensor for segmented optics

open access: closedOptical Engineering, 1995
Optical systems with segmented mirrors require precision coalignment of their segments to attain the desired performance. A novel sensor for measuring piston over a ± 10 wave range by analyzing the image of a white light point source is described. The sensor combines a Young's two-slit aperture pair for coarse sensing with another set of apertures ...

Model-based large-dynamic iterative piston correction using extended objects.

Optics Letters, 2023
Cophasing is crucial for segmented or sparse aperture telescopes to achieve high resolution. In this Letter, we propose a novel, to the best of our knowledge, model-based piston correction method that can remove large-scale piston errors within a few ...

A phase retrieval technique to measure and correct residual segment piston errors of large aperture optical telescopes

Astronomical Telescopes + Instrumentation, 2022
The success of the Keck telescopes’ segmented mirror technology provided a basis for the development of other large and extremely large telescopes. We investigate ways to optimize the performance of the segmented mirror telescope further to (1) take on ...
