Abstract

An AlN-based piezoelectric micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) continuous membrane deformable mirror (DM) prototype is presented for the first time. Its effective aperture diameter is 5 mm and it is equipped with 25 independently controlled actuators. Owing to the advantages associated with the AlN piezoelectric thin-film technology, attractive characteristics including CMOS compatible fabrication, bidirectional linear and negligible hysteresis actuation, and excellent linear superposition control capability have been successfully demonstrated. Moreover, good optical aberration correction performance is also validated via the surface contour fitting experiment to the Zernike polynomials up to the first 14 orders despite the non-optimized device structure design, representing great application perspective.
