ABSTRACT:
A deformable mirror control device is provided with improved response characteristic by devising the mode of control even if the deformable mirror has a large time constant in comparison with the response speed required in applications such as the retinal camera. The deformable mirror device comprises a deformable mirror10having a reflective surface deformed with an applied voltage, and a voltage control circuit20for controlling the voltage applied to the deformable mirror10.Here, the voltage control circuit20produces a steady-state voltage at which the reflective surface of the deformable mirror10takes an intended shape in a steady state, and produces a transient voltage that causes the reflective surface of the deformable mirror10to deform toward the intended shape, and also produces a transient voltage that causes the shape of the reflective surface of the deformable mirror10to shift quickly toward the intended shape.
