AO systems with MMDM

AO systems with MMDM are based on our technology of Micromacined Membrane Deformable Mirrors. These mirrors are inexpensive and fast. They feature zero hysteresis and can work in a frequency range of up to 1kHz. Currently we fabricate 15mm MMDM with 17, 19, and 37 channels, 30mm MMDM with 39, 59, and 79 channels, 40mm MMDM with 59 and 79 channels, and 50mm MMDM with 79 channels. Parameters of these mirrors are naturally matched to the parameters of atmospheric turbulence, therefore they produce best results when used for correction of turbulence.

Complete systems are always tailored to the needs of the customer. A basic system would include a deformable mirror, one or more HV amplifier units, USB, Ethernet, or PCI DAC controllers, a wavefront sensor, and a control computer running FrontSurfer WF reconstruction and control software.
