Stack Array Mirrors can be equipped with up to several thousands of actuators. They provide high order corrections with large inter-actuator stroke. SAMs are well-adapted for high order deformable ...

Consisting of a reflective membrane supported by an underlying actuator array, the Mini-DM deformable mirror�with a starting price of just $7,500�is presented as significantly less expensive than ...

Cost is no longer the prohibitive factor holding back the adoption of deformable mirrors. Jacqueline Hewett speaks to Paul Bierden of pioneering US firm Boston Micromachines Corporation about the new ...

Boston Micromachines Corporation, a leading provider of MEMS-based deformable mirror (DM) products for adaptive optics systems, announced today that its Kilo-DM is being used in the Subaru ...

The Hi-Speed DM37 deformable mirror from Alpao (Biviers, France) has a clear aperture of 7.5 mm but a large stroke of more than ±35 μm for astigmatism and focus wavefront correction, nonlinearity ...

Adaptive optics is a transformative technology that corrects distortions in optical wavefronts in real time, thereby enhancing image clarity in a diverse set of applications ranging from astronomical ...

Researchers in Canada have built the first deformable liquid mirror from a magnetic liquid or “ferrofluid”, which could someday be used to compensate for distortion in the images of telescopes and ...

Recently, Apex Microtechnology introduced a power amplifier IC with a high voltage operation of 220V and a continuous output current capability of 1A. The PA164 device has a monolithic MOS technology ...
