Abstract
Description
Technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a deformable mirror of an adaptive optical system. Background technique
[0002] A typical adaptive optics system uses a wavefront sensor 2 to detect the distortion of the incident light wave 1, and then sends a control signal to the wavefront correction device through the controller to control the action of the mirror (deformable mirror) 3 to deform the mirror. When the mirror shape and the distortion phase meet the phase conjugate relationship, the distortion will be cancelled out, so that the wavefront is restored, and the resolution of the imaging (CCD) 4 is improved. figure 1 Shown is a typical adaptive optics structure diagram. The deformability and frequency characteristics of the mirror surface affect the performance of the entire optical system.
[0003] The deformable mirror is a key component of the adaptive optics system. The American company Itek first began to develop the deformable mirror and successfully developed t...
