Abstract:
To improve the efficiency of interference control through compensation for residual aberrations in the illuminating arm of an interferometer, it is proposed to use a flexible adaptive mirror based on a bimorph piezoelectric cell. Possibilities of modeling geometric and wave aberrations on an adaptive mirror have been studied in actual and computer experiments. The results obtained are discussed. A method is proposed for tuning interferometer using an adaptive mirror.
