Two-stage control algorithm for magnetic fluid deformation mirror with dual-layer actuators

Abstract

To increase the correction effectiveness of full-order aberration, a control system based on a magnetic fluid flexible mirror with dual-layer actuators is presented. The combined magnetic field created by the Maxwell coil and the double-layer driving coils controls the geometry of the magnetic fluid surface. A model-based optical sensorless control approach for lower layer coils is developed and aimed to enable high magnitude restoration of lower-order aberrations. An adaptive important factor that causes on Youla parameterization, on the other hand, is developed for the upper coils to rectify higher-order residual aberrations. Matlab is used to simulate the algorithm in order to test its performance in full-order aberration correction, and the results reveal that the approach has good correction performance.
