Abstract
Figure sensor control of a deformable mirror has been developed which allows for closed-loop control of an arbitrary figure on the mirror. Figure sensing is implemented through the use of an optical heterodyne-type interferometer which monitors the optical figure (contour) of the mirror. Error signals are generated in a dedicated minicomputer by comparing the measured contour and the desired contour.
