Book excerpt: The long-range goal of this project is to develop the optical and mechanical design of a micromirror array for adaptive optics that will meet the following criteria: flat mirror surface ([lambda]/20), high fill factor (> 95%), large stroke (5-10 [mu]m), and pixel size ≈-200 [mu]m. This will be accomplished by optimizing the mirror surface and actuators independently and then combining them using bonding technologies that are currently being developed.
