Abstract
ThermoTrex Corporation has designed and built a prototype of the fast steering mirror to be used for image motion control in the TNG adaptive optics system. The principal characteristic of this mirror is the use of voice coil actuators whose positions are controlled with closed loops based on capacitive sensors. Here we report the main features of the mirror assembly and laboratory measurements done to characterize the mirror behavior. The Bode diagram of the mirror is reported and discussed.
