Frequently Asked Questions (All)
Is it possible to use MMDM for tilt correction (scanner mode)? PDF Print E-mail
MMDMs
The device can be specially calibrated to correct for tilts, preserving the diffraction-limited quality of the reflected beam in the range of about 25*lambda/D where lambda is the wavelength and D is the mirror diameter. Contact OKO for details. Using the device in scanner mode will reduce its correction performance for higher order aberrations.
 
Where to buy high-voltage power supplies for OKO driver boards? PDF Print E-mail
General
Any regulated (DC 0...300V, 100mA) laboratory power supply will work. Good regulated 300V power supplies are produced by Delta Elektronika, postbus 27, 4300 AA Zierikzee, The Netherlands, tel. (0)111-413656, fax (0)11-416919. EMCO high-voltage DC to DC convertors F03 (F02 for lower voltage) can be used for portable applications. One module is needed for a 19-ch system, two modules will power a 37-ch system. In general, you will need one module per 20 channels.
 
What is included in a complete adaptive optical system from OKO Tecnologies? PDF Print E-mail
Adaptive optical systems

On demand, OKO Technologies can supply a complete closed-loop adaptive optical system (AOS), which includes all necessary optical and mechanical components in addition to the FrontSurfer adaptive optics package. It has a numerical aperture of 1:10 and can be applied for real-time correction of optical aberrations and generation of precision wavefronts.

 
How MMDM works? PDF Print E-mail
MMDMs
MMDM consists of a thin (500 to 700nm thick) membrane made of silicon nitride. The membrane is coated by a thin layer of aluminum or gold to produce a highly reflective surface. The membrane is fixed to silicon frame and suspended over a number of planar electrodes - electrostatic actuators. When the membrane is electrically grounded and a voltage is applied to one or a number of the actuators, the membrane is deformed locally changing its shape. Combinations of voltages applied to different electrodes form different shapes.
 
How do the response functions of the deformable mirrors look like? PDF Print E-mail
General
The shape of the response functions depends on the mirror type (MMDM or PDM) and on the actuator structure. A very good approximation to the response functions for all of our mirrors can be calculated with the free version of MrFit
