Design Analysis of Future Deformable Mirrors
conference paper
Adaptive optics systems are essential in ground-based astronomical observatories and in laser communication through free space. In particular, turbulence in the atmosphere causes wavefront aberrations that set a limit on the achievable image quality. Adaptive optics systems allow to actively compensate the atmospheric disturbances which leads to a significantly enhanced image quality. A crucial element in adaptive optics systems is the deformable mirror, see Figure 1, which contains many actuators to explicitly control the shape of the mirror.
