Figure 12
In an environment where the temperature varies sinusoidally with an amplitude of ∼0.1°C with a ∼1 h periodicity, the curvature of the mirror in open-loop (blue curve) follows a similar trend (most likely caused by relative thermal expansion between the dissimilar materials of the substrate and its holder). However, once closed-loop is activated (green curve), the mirror shape is instantly stabilized. The inset image shows a zoom of the closed-loop stability (filtered data are a moving average with a window of 101 data points) and a much weaker correlation between temperature and the mirror curvature.
