چکیده
We report the main parameters of a nine-electrode bimorph piezoelectric adaptive mirror designed to correct low-order aberrations. We describe measurements of the control coefficients for defocus, astigmatism, pure coma, and spherical aberration of this mirror and the temperature stability of its profile. The performance of a simple adaptive optical system for imaging through laboratory-generated turbulence is investigated. This low-order device is suitable for small (<1-m-diameter) telescopes and for nonastronomical applications of adaptive optics.

Deformable 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 کاملMembrane deformable mirror for adaptive optics: performance limits in visual optics.
The performance of a membrane deformable mirror with 37 electrodes (OKO Technologies) is studied in order to characterize its utility as an adaptive optics element. The control procedure is based on knowledge of the membrane's response under the action of each isolate electrode, i.e., the influence functions. The analysis of the mathematical techniques to obtain the control matrix gives useful ...
متن کاملWavefront-aberration sorting and correction for a dual-deformable-mirror adaptive-optics system.
Many next-generation adaptive optics (AO) systems for vision will have two deformable mirrors (DMs) instead of one: a high-stroke, low-resolution mirror (the woofer) and a low-stroke, high-resolution mirror (the tweeter). We developed a zonal wavefront-control algorithm and validated it using simulations. Rather than separating the woofer and tweeter corrections into two independent control pro...
متن کاملUltra-low-power multiplexed electronic driver for high resolution deformable mirror systems
We present a new multiplexed high-voltage driver architecture that departs from previous MEMS deformable-mirror drivers. Just one D/A converter and one high-voltage amplifier module drive the entire actuator array through a rowcolumn addressing scheme. This approach reduces operational power consumption of a multiple-channel deformablemirror driver by two orders of magnitude. It can provide for...
متن کاملHigh order adaptive optics system with a high density spherical membrane deformable mirror
We have designed a new type of curved deformable mirror with 3000 actuators. It will be used at the 6.5 m MMT telescope in an adaptive optics system to correct the wavefront on a scale of 12 cm, for di raction limited images in visible light ( 0.02 arcsec) and for high contrast imaging with a coronagraph in the near infrared. The mirror's 51 cm diameter glass faceplate, 400 microns thick, will ...
