Our standard adaptive optical systems are based on Windows PCs, high-voltage amplifiers and digital-to-analog converters (DAC) serving as interface between a PC and an amplifier. We have developed a number of interfaces and amplifiers that allow to control high-voltage deformable mirrors with up to 1 kHz frequency, voltage up to 400V with a precision of 8 (PCI) or 12 (USB) bit.

OKO PCI boards allow to control up to 24 channels with a single board, the number of boards per PC is practically unlimited. The refresh time is better than 1 microsecond per channel, all channels of the board can be controlled independently in any order.

A single USB DAC module allows to control 40 channels with refresh frequency of 1kHz and precision of 12 bit. These modules can be used in parallel to control 80, 120... etc. channels with refresh frequency of up to 1kHz.
