What Applications Benefit from MEMS-Based Deformable Mirrors?
Adaptive optics systems in telescopes are one of the primary beneficiaries of MEMS-based deformable mirrors. These systems correct for atmospheric distortions, providing clearer images of celestial objects. Additionally, MEMS DMs are used in laser beam shaping and laser communications, where precise control over the beam profile is necessary for efficient data transmission. In medical imaging, such as ophthalmology, these mirrors assist in correcting aberrations in the human eye, leading to better diagnostic images.
