متن کاملSegmented bimorph mirrors for adaptive optics: segment design and experiment.
We discuss the concept of lightweight segmented bimorph mirrors for adaptive optics. The segment consists of a monocrystal silicon substrate actuated by an array of in-plane piezoceramic (PZT) actuators with honeycomb electrodes. We focus on technological aspects of the segment design that are critical for space applications and describe a single segment demonstrator. The morphing capability of...
متن کاملGeneralized figure-control algorithm for large segmented telescope mirrors
A fundamental discovery in segmented-mirror active optics is described: symmetrizing the geometry of the sensor–actuator array provides a computationally effective symmetrization of the mathematical description for the figure control of a Keck-type telescope mirror. The author establishes a universal mathematical control model and provides an efficient algorithm to solve this model equation set...
متن کاملHigh spatial resolution fibre -optic Fizeau interferometric strain sensor based on an in-fiber spherical microcavity
We present a fiber-optic Fizeau interferometric strain sensor consisting of an in-fiber spherical microcavity of 39um in diameter. The spherical microcavity was formed by splicing a normal single-mode fiber with a hollow-core photonic crystal fiber. We demonstrate that strain sensing can be realized by using the interference between the light signals reflected by the front and rear surfaces of ...
متن کاملCoating-free mirrors for high precision interferometric experiments
Thermal noise in mirror optical coatings may not only limit the sensitivity of future gravitational-wave detectors in their most sensitive frequency band but is also a major impediment for experiments that aim to reach the standard quantum limit or cool mechanical systems to their quantum ground state. We present the design and experimental characterization of a highly reflecting mirror without...
