Popis: A MEMS SLM with an array of 64×64 pixels, each 120 μm ×120 μm in size, with 98% fill-factor, has been developed. Each reflector in the array is capable of 5 μm of stroke, and ±4° tip and tilt. From a prototype array, 14 contiguous pixels have been independently wired-out to off-chip drive electronics. These 14 pixels have been demonstrated to be effective in an off-the-shelf AO system (with requisite modifications to suit the SLM). For a low-order static aberration, the measured Strehl ratio has been improved from 0.069 to 0.861, a factor of 12 improvement.
