Micromachined Deformable Mirrors for Beam Control and Imaging Applications

Abstract

We have built and are testing Mini-Cassegrain deformable mirrors to produce prototype bench level system in the next few weeks. These mirrors were fabricated in our clean-room facility here in Albuquerque and differ from normal DMs by having a transparent faceplate membranes and perforations in the back plate to allow light to transmit through the membrane. These mirrors are being tested in the clean area of our office facility. Electronics for a driver/controller are in final preparation. Parts to assemble a filly operational Mini-Cassegrain are now on-hand.
