Contributor Van Keulen, A. (mentor) Faculty Mechanical, Maritime and Materials Engineering Department Precision and Microsystems Engineering Programme Engineering Mechanics Date 2015-12-16 Abstract Deformable mirrors are widely used in adaptive optics to correct wavefront aberrations. Actuators are used to deform the mirror into the shape that is needed for this correction. The most common type of actuation is with out-of-plane actuators that are placed on the backside of the mirror surface. Actuation with in-plane actuators placed on the boundary of the mirror has not been researched extensively yet. The goal of this research is to find the effects of using in-plane boundary actuation in combination with the commonly used out-of-plane surface actuation.
