AOA Xinetics makes several different active optical devices to enable the optics community to dynamically control the focus, tip and tilt, and low order wavefront errors found in uncorrected optical systems. The Integrated Wavefront Corrector (IWC) mirror provides a more compact and robust adaptive optic by combining Fast Steering Mirror (Tip / Tilt) and Deformable Mirror functions into a single package. The IWC mirror can be configured with our standard Surface Normal, Photonex, or Surface Parallel Array family of mirrors. Our SPA mirrors will provide the largest stroke and tilt range as highlighted.
