Abstract
Piezoelectric DM based on unimorph microactuator array has advantages of large stroke with low voltage and high operating bandwidth. In this paper, we estimate the correction capability of this DM by fitting Zernike polynomials shapes. First, the influences of actuator arrangement, actuator number and coupling on correction capability were investigated to optimize the correction performance. Then low-order Zernike shapes were reproduced by a fabricated DM using measured influence function matrix. Experiment and simulation results show that the DM has a satisfying correction performance.
