Brand Name or Equal to the High Actuator Count Segmented Deformable Mirror, part number PTT489, manufactured by Iris AO, Inc. Deformable Mirror.

The Naval Postgraduate School has a requirement, to be provided by one vendor, for a Brand Name or Equal to the High Actuator Count Segmented Deformable Mirror, part number PTT489, manufactured by Iris AO, Inc. Deformable Mirror.



Background/Introduction: The Adaptive optics center of Excellence (AOCoE), Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering (MAE) at the Naval Postgraduate School, Monterey, CA is currently performing research on the high energy laser beam control system. One of the technology area is in the development and evaluation of technologies that are effective for compensating atmospheric turbulence to increase the laser beam propagation efficiencies.



The purpose of the contract is to procure a deformable mirror that can be used to compensate atmospheric turbulence in the laboratory experiments.

Due to the deep turbulence conditions often encountered for the Navy’s high energy laser systems, the deformable mirror will need to have many actuators to compensate high spatial frequency aberrations. In addition, the deformable mirror needs to cope with phase discontinues and branch point problems under deep turbulence conditions.
