Bertin Alpao’s magnetic-actuated deformable mirrors provide extreme surface stability and scalability for high-contrast space imaging and coronagraphy. Key advantages include low power consumption, vacuum compatibility, and kilohertz-class resonance frequencies that enable precise primary mirror figure correction. This technology is essential for next-generation space telescopes requiring nanometer-level flatness and stable optical performance.
