Precise open-loop control of MEMS deformable mirror shape
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new method is introduced for predicting control voltages that will generate a prescribed surface shape on a deformable mirror. The algorithm is based upon an analytical elastic model of the mirror membrane and an empirical electromechanical model of its actuators. It is computationally simple and inherently fast. Shapes at the limit of achievable mirror spatial frequencies with up to 1.5μm amplitudes have been achieved with less than 15nm RMS error.

متن کاملCritical considerations of pupil alignment to achieve open-loop control of MEMS deformable mirror in non-linear laser scanning fluorescence microscopy
In this paper we present an alignment methodology for a non-linear laser scanning fluorescence microscopic imaging system integrated with a MEMS deformable mirror that is used to compensate microscope aberrations and improve sample image quality. The procedure uses an accurate open-loop control mechanism of the MEMS DM, a high resolution CMOS camera and a compact Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor...
متن کاملDeformable mirror model for open-loop adaptive optics using multivariate adaptive regression splines.
Open-loop adaptive optics is a technique in which the turbulent wavefront is measured before it hits the deformable mirror for correction. We present a technique to model a deformable mirror working in open-loop based on multivariate adaptive regression splines (MARS), a non-parametric regression technique. The model's input is the wavefront correction to apply to the mirror and its output is t...
متن کاملOpen-loop Woofer-tweeter Control on the Lao Multi-conjugate Adaptive Optics Testbed
Advances in micro deformable mirror (DM) technologies such as MEMs, have stimulated interest in the characteristics of systems that include a high stroke mirror in series with a high actuator count mirror. This arrangement is referred to as a woofer-tweeter system. In certain situations it may be desirable or necessary to operate the woofer DM in open-loop. We present a simple method for contro...
