High performance control of mirror segment actuators for the European Extremely Large Telescope

conference paper
Segmented primary mirror telescopes require dedicated piston-tip-tilt actuators for optimal optical performance. TNO has developed various prototypes of such actuators, in particular for the E-ELT. In this paper the control results of a specific two-stage prototype will be presented.
