Partially Segmented Deformable Mirror

View page
US Patent:
50169971, May 21, 1991
Filed:
May 15, 1990
Appl. No.:
7/523504
Inventors:
Erlan S. Bliss - Danville CA
James R. Smith - Livermore CA
J. Thaddeus Salmon - Livermore CA
Julio A. Monjes - San Ramon CA
Assignee:
The United States of America as represented by the United States
Department of Energy - Washington DC
International Classification:
G02B 508
US Classification:
350607
Abstract:
A partially segmented deformable mirror is formed with a mirror plate having a smooth and continuous front surface and a plurality of actuators to its back surface. The back surface is divided into triangular areas which are mutually separated by grooves. The grooves are deep enough to make the plate deformable and the actuators for displacing the mirror plate in the direction normal to its surface are inserted in the grooves at the vertices of the triangular areas. Each actuator includes a transducer supported by a receptacle with outer shells having outer surfaces. The vertices have inner walls which are approximately perpendicular to the mirror surface and make planar contacts with the outer surfaces of the outer shells. The adhesive which is used on these contact surfaces tends to contract when it dries but the outer shells can bend and serve to minimize the tendency of the mirror to warp.
