Deformable Mirror Kilo-3.5
Description
The Kilo-DM deformable mirrors: A high performance wavefront corrector for demanding applications in astronomy, laser communications and imaging through scattering media.The Kilo-DM deformable mirror is an enabling component for precise, high speed, high resolution wavefront control. With 952 actuators controlled to under 1nm of precision and no hysteresis, this system is ideal for demanding applications.
The high-speed drive electronics are capable of 60 kHz frame rate and 14 bit step resolution. Originally developed for a DARPA coherent laser communication project, the Kilo-DM deformable mirror is currently used by the European Southern Observatory, the Lick Observatory at Mt. Hamilton, and various defense agencies. In addition, it is being used to develop next-generation sub-surface imaging techniques.

Features
MEMS deformable mirrors are currently the most commonly used architecture in many adaptive optics applications given their versatility, maturity of technology, and high resolution wavefront correction capabilities. Using advanced, inexpensive manufacturing technology, MEMS DMs’ performance strengths are inherent to micromachining:
- Large actuator arrays create high resolution wavefront correction.
- Advanced microstructures allow minimal influence between adjacent actuators for high spatial frequency surfaces
- Optimized design enables rapid wavefront shaping for high speed applications.
