Abstract:

The possibility to form the phase aberrations of the first and second orders with the help of the continuous elastic mirror controlled by the system of concentrated loads acting round its contour are analyzed. Influence functions of mirror's actuators and modal base space of control are calculated by using the theory of thin plates. Considerable attention is paid to the estimation of the accuracy of forming the lowest phase aberrations by the mirror. Experimental results obtained with the operating sample of mirror with the electromagnetic actuators are in good agreement with the calculations.
