Abstract

We present a high precision deflectometry system (DS) controlled deformable mirror (DM) solution for optical system. Different from wavefront and non-wavefront system, the DS and the DM are set to be an individual integrated DCDM unit and can be installed in one base plate. In the DCDM unit, the DS can directly provide the influence functions and surface shape of the DM to the industrial computer in any adaptive optics system. As an integrated adaptive unit, the DCDM unit could be put into various optical systems to realize aberration compensation. In this paper, the configuration and principle of the DCDM unit is introduced first. Theoretical simulation on the close-loop performance of the DCDM unit is carried out. Finally, a verification experiment is proposed to verify the compensation capability of the DCDM unit.
