Abstract

In this paper we present results using a compact, portable adaptive optics system. Such compact systems are possible thanks to the use of new technologies based on Micro-Electro-Machined deformable mirrors and liquid crystals devices among other possible technologies. In the paper we will illustrate our experience with such devices; we will address the pros and cons of such approach, some experimental results and new trends for future tests.
