Spring-type magnetostrictive actuator (STMA)1 and platform for adaptive tilt correction in astronomy and high-power technological lasers is discussed. STMA is one of the most promising types of macroactuators for large ground and space-based adaptive optics. By means of STMA it is possible to realize precision displacements in ranges up to 50–100 μm with an accuracy of positioning 0.1 μm and enforcement up to 1000N in a real time scale (1–10 ms). Experimentally investigated static and dynamic characteristics of STMA are discussed in comparison with that of piezoceramical actuators. Real-time two-coordinate mirror positioning system for precise optical engineering is proposed and investigated. The dynamic range of corrected tilts is up to 3°10−3 rad with sensitivity 10−6 rad and frequency range up to 40 Hz. High efficiency for correction of tilts induced by atmosphere turbulence is demonstrated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
