Smart Structures for Control of Optical Surfaces

D. Michael Sobers

4.9/5 (13592 ratings)

Description:The development of lightweight, large-aperture optics is of vital importance to the Department of Defense and the US Air Force for advancing remote sensing applications and improving current capabilities. Synthetic polymer optics offer weight and flexibility advantages over current generation glass mirrors, but require active control to maintain tight surface figure tolerances. This research explores the feasibility of using imbedded piezoelectric materials to control optical surfaces. Membrane-based and stiff piezo-controlled mirrors were constructed to develop and validate control techniques. Test results verified that surface control on the order of tens of wavelengths is possible using these systems.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging. And by having access to our ebooks online or by storing it on your computer, you have convenient answers with Smart Structures for Control of Optical Surfaces. To get started finding Smart Structures for Control of Optical Surfaces, you are right to find our website which has a comprehensive collection of manuals listed.
