ALPAO

Five publications using ALPAO deformable mirrors have been presented during the international workshop Adaptive Optics for Extremely Large Telescopes. Building adaptive optics for such very large telescopes (up to 42 meters) is very challenging and numberous techniques must be validated before going on sky. Reliable, linear and cost-effective products from ALPAO help astronomers to reach this goal.

The entry-level Hi-Speed DM37 features all the unique performances of the Hi-Speed Series within a compact size (7.5mm): low surface error, large stroke (more than +/- 35µm for astigmatism and focus wavefront correction), low non linearity errors (
