Figure 1
Piezo response functions (PRF), displayed as slope changes scaled linearly to a voltage change of 500 V for easy comparison, showing how each of the eight channels of a super-polished bimorph mirror affects the mirror's surface, as measured by the Diamond-NOM profilometer (Alcock et al., 2010). The thick black curve shows the mirror's slope error (deviation from nominal ellipse) when all electrodes are at 0 V. The PRFs and the residual surface errors dictate the breakpoint locations of the re-entrant surface modifications. |
