Abstract

Over the last decade TNO has developed a deformable mirror concept using electromagnetic actuators with the main advantages of having very low non-linearity and hysteresis, low power consumption, and high inherent reliability of the actuators. TNO recently started a program to redesign the electromagnetic actuator to improve the actuator efficiency, allowing higher actuator force per volume and per wattage. The increased actuator efficiency gives improvement of the DM performance in terms of dynamical performance, actuation range, and power dissipation. With this technology various applications in the fields of ground-based astronomy and space missions are targeted.
