Abstract

The advantages of using an adaptive secondary mirror for astronomical high resolution observations are very attractive. The drastic reduction of optical surfaces along the optical train of the adaptive system will allow a very compact system with high transmission and low emissivity. Also such a system has the potentiality of a very high actuator density.
