Wavefront control in space with MEMS deformable mirrors for exoplanet direct imaging

To meet the high contrast requirement of 1×10[superscript −10] to image an Earth-like planet around a sun-like star, space telescopes equipped with coronagraphs require wavefront control systems. Deformable mirrors (DMs) are a key element of a wavefront control system, as they correct for imperfecti...
