摘要
In the past two decades, the use of adaptive optics has been validated in many different observatories around the world. However, the availability of new technologies like liquid crystal modulators (LCM) or micro-electro-mechanical-systems (MEMS) deformable mirrors (DM) are providing a revolution in the field. These devices are lower in cost and complexity and are opening the door to applications of adaptive optics that are beyond the astronomical use. In this paper we will present a review of our experience with both MEMS and LCM. Both theoretical and experimental results will be presented.
