MEMS Deformable Mirrors for Space-Based High-Contrast Imaging

MEMS Deformable Mirrors for Space-Based High-Contrast Imaging

Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) Deformable Mirrors (DMs) enable precise wavefront control for optical systems. This technology can be used to meet the extreme wavefront control requirements for high contrast imaging of exoplanets with coronagraph instruments. MEMS DM technology is being demo...
