Simple unimorph deformable mirrors fabricated from piezo buzzers

Abstract: This study shows how unimorph deformable mirrors can be effectively fabricated out of commercially available piezo-buzzers without any high-tech equipment. Our design involves a quad-channel mirror with monolithically integrated flexures. The mirror is controlled by a custom quad-channel high-voltage driver unit, capable of 93 Vp-p and 75 kpps performance. The system exhibits 16-bit resolution over the angular working range of ±1.85 mrad, with 0.04 mrad V −1 angular sensitivity and 14% hysteresis. We demonstra… Show more

“…And due to the existence of time delay, PID control algorithm cannot predict the disturbance with time-varying characteristics, and it does not have the ability to automatically adjust the control strategy according to the change of the disturbance 9 12 Therefore, the overshoot of the control system becomes larger, the stability becomes worse, the adjustment time is prolonged, and it is difficult to ensure the optimal performance of the system.…”

“…Adaptive optics (AO) is a technology that enables us to achieve complex aberration corrections for a wide range of applications [ 1 , 2 ]. Conventional AO systems utilize spatial light modulators [ 3 , 4 ] or solid deformable mirrors (DM) [ 5 , 6 ] to compensate for the phase fluctuations that result from non-uniformity in the properties of the medium through which light travels or imperfections in the geometry of the optical components. The spatial light modulators are available in both reflective as well as transparent modes.…”
