The Mini-DM: An economical solution for wavefront correction
The compact and affordable Mini-DM is ideal for laboratory-scale adaptive optics and proof of concept wavefront control. Its mirror surface is controlled by 32 electrostatic actuators which are individually commanded to achieve a desired shape. The DM is available in both continuous and segmented surfaces for adaptive optics or spatial light modulator applications. The DMs are capable of up to 5.5 μm stroke, 20 kHz frame rate *, have sub-nm step size, and zero hysteresis.
* 1.5 μm DM and SLM capable of 20 kHz. |

Adaptive Optics
Advanced wavefront control with MEMS deformable mirrors produce higher contrast, higher resolution imaging. Wavefront shaping is achieved by correcting high-order aberrations caused by optical limitations, atmospheric turbulence, and tissue nonuniformities. BMC's MEMS deformable mirrors offer unsurpassed correction and control, dramatically improving imaging precision. |
