Deformable Mirror Technology Aid
Microelectromechanical systems
(MEMS)-based deformable mirror provider Boston Micromachines Corp. (BMC) of Cambridge,
Mass., announced that it has signed a consulting agreement with Bridger Photonics
Inc. of Bozeman, Mont., to quantitatively assess a new MEMS membrane deformable
mirror design using BMC’s facilities. Bridger Photonics received a Small Business
Technology Transfer grant from the National Science Foundation to develop a commercial
prototype of an aberration-compensated focus control device. Based on MEMS technology,
the device will allow the user to deflect a deformable membrane mirror in a controlled
manner to select a desired focal length. It will feature active control of low-order
aberrations.
