Abstract
This invention relates to a plate-type deformable mirror with discrete contacts between the faceplate and the actuators.
Claims9
An actuated mirror comprising
- a. a thin flexible faceplate of solid material,
- b. actuators with their top face bonded to that faceplate with a liquid bonding agent such that the liquid bonding agent is unable to form a strong bond between the side of the actuators and the faceplate, and
- c. a stiff base-plate bonded to the bottom face of the actuators.
