Deformable mirror optimized for low-order Zernike terms

Our new 19-channel piezo DM has been specially designed for correction of  low-order aberrations. By locating 18  of 19 mirror's actuators outside the 20-mm aperture, we achieved perfect correction of the first 15 Zernike polynomials practically without any actuator print-through.

Please read our article in Optics Express to learn more   about the theoretical background. The interferograms registered live in a Twyman-Green interferometer (not a HS reconstruction!) demonstrate the low-order Zernike polynomials generated by the mirror.
