Adaptive Optics With Segmented Deformable Bimorph Mirrors

The degradation of astronomical images caused by atmospheric turbulence will be much more severe in the next generation of terrestrial telescopes and its compensation will require deformable mirrors with up to tens-of-thousands of actuators. Current designs for these correctors consist of scaling up...
