Summary
The status of adaptive optics at Stanford is summarized. Particular focus is given to the fabrication and testing of segmented, micro-mirror SLMs developed under the CCIT (Coherent Communications, Imaging, and Targeting) project [1]. Square and hexagonal “5 ß 5” and “32 ß 32” arrays have been fabricated using MEMS technology, and “5 ß 5” arrays have been characterized.
