ABSTRACT:
An adaptive optic mirror has a cyanate faceplate supported by a backplate which permits a plurality of actuators to be connected directly to the faceplate. Each actuator is connected via a low impedance circuit to a master control which sets each actuator independently of the others to produce a contoured mirror surface.
