Piezo response functions show how each actuators responds to an applied voltage. Comparison between 2013 (continuous lines) and 2023 (dotted lines) shows that the piezos are still as strong as when the mirror was delivered to Diamond. In fact, three of the central piezo actuators have increased in strength, which is hypothesized to be caused by desiccation of moisture absorbed in the piezo ceramics. |
