Mirao 52E | Electromagnetic Deformable Mirror

MIRAO 52E – Electromagnetic Deformable Mirror

Mirao 52E is a low-cost electromagnetic deformable mirror that offers exceptionally large stroke and high optical quality combined with low power consumption and USB2 connectivity. This provides advanced capabilities in terms of wavefront correction.  Mirao 52e electromagnetic deformable mirror is best suited for applications requiring high-quality closed loop correction when working with a wavefront sensor, such as bio-imaging, ophthalmology, microscopy, beam shaping and more.

Key features

• ±50 µm stroke (tilt p/v)
• 15mm pupil with 52 actuators
• exceptional surface quality (<10 nm rms active flat)
• virtually no hysteresis (<2%)
• near perfect linearity (>95%)
• compatible with open-loop control
• USB2 connectivity

In addition to its excellent optical quality, high linearity and lack of hysteresis, Mirao 52e low-cost electromagnetic deformable mirror can be used in a wide spectral range and has a high intensity threshold. This also makes this deformable mirror a great candidate for various beam shaping applications.

Mirao’s electronic controller connects to PC via USB port. There is also a trigger output available to facilitate synchronization with other devices via TTL signal. Together with Mirao 52e ,  we offer a free Application Programming Interface (API) which was developed to provide easy access to Mirao’s powerful wavefront correction abilities. In addition to that we developed a complete Software Development Kit (SDK), which includes a time-saving collection of high-level functions so that users can quickly develop their own software. We offer the SDK in C, C++, LabView and Python environments.

For safer operation of the deformable mirror as an option we are also offering dust-proof protective case around the mirror together with an AR coated window in front of the mirror membrane.

MIRAO 52ES – for long term stability in open loop

LARGE-STROKE DEFORMABLE MIRROR OPTIMIZED FOR OPEN-LOOP OPERATION

Many applications of adaptive optics are using a deformable mirror to create a precise wavefront shape, which is then kept fixed during operation of the optical setup (in microscopy, beam shaping etc.). When  precise wavefront/PSF shape needs to be maintained during long term experiments – Mirao 52es is the perfect choice.
