Description
Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) technology has the potential to create deformable mirrors (DM) with more than 10^4 actuators that have size, weight, and power specifications that are far lower than conventional piezoelectric and electrostrictive DMS. However, considerable development is necessary to take state-of-the-art MEMS DMS today and make them flight-like. This phase II sbir proposal addresses two critical areas in MEMS DM development towards the goal of developing flight-like hardware. Namely, phase II research will further develop iris AO's proven hybrid MEMS DM technology to: 1) develop and demonstrate wafer-scale assembly of deformable mirror arrays and 2) increase drive electronics resolution to>=18 bits using hardware-controlled super-resolution oversampling techniques. The increased spatial and actuator resolution afforded by the development here will enable picometer resolution DMS required to reach 10^10 contrast levels necessary for direct detection of earth-sized terrestrial planets.
