High-resolution Wavefront Control Using Micromirror Arrays
نویسندگان
چکیده
Silicon deformable mirrors have the potential to modulate spatial and temporal features of an optical wavefront. This capability is critical for systems in which aberrations affect optical beam quality, including many applications in laser communication, medical imaging, astronomy, and target tracking. The main goal of the work presented here was to design, build, and test a 1024 actuator wavefront controller for real-time modulation of an optical wavefront.

Generation of atmospheric wavefronts using binary micromirror arrays.
To simulate in the laboratory the influence that a turbulent atmosphere has on light beams, we introduce a practical method for generating atmospheric wavefront distortions that considers digital holographic reconstruction using a programmable binary micromirror array. We analyze the efficiency of the approach for different configurations of the micromirror array and experimentally demonstrate ...

متن کاملHigh-resolution beam steering using microlens arrays.
Imaging or beam-steering systems employing a periodic array of microlenses or micromirrors suffer from diffraction problems resulting from the destructive interference of the beam segments produced by the array. Simple formulas are derived for beam steering with segmented apertures that do not suffer from diffraction problems because of the introduction of a moving linear phase shifter such as ...
متن کاملطراحی و ساخت میکروآیینه شکل‌پذیر پلیمری جهت استفاده در سیستم‌های اپتیک تطبیقی
This paper presents a novel method for the fabrication of polymeric deformable micromirror based on electrostatic actuator. Deformable micromirros are commonly used to correct optical wavefront aberrations in the adaptive optic systems, and thus, they need a deformable diaphragm. In this study, the diaphragm of micromirror is made from SU-8 polymer which is mounted on the fixed electrode arrays...
متن کاملMems-based Light Valves for Ultra-high Resolution Projection Displays
Ultra-high resolution projectors will improve the visual systems of military flight simulators dramatically. There are changes in aspect angle and aspect rate which fixed-wing fighter pilots can discriminate at long standoff distances, but which cannot be displayed with adequate resolution by the visual systems of contemporary flight simulators. At present the limit of display resolution is fix...
