摘要：

We describe the development of flexi-circuit addressed, high resolution small aperture Bimorph Deformable Mirror (BDM) suitable for a satellite to ground optical communications system. In the first phase, the base of an existing BDM was modified to enable integration onto a commercially available tip-tilt stage. Evaluation demonstrated that there was no reduction in performance as a result of the integration. In the current phase, a 100 element BDM with a 10mm optical aperture suitable for integration onto a bespoke tip-tilt platform has been designed and assembled. The results of initial tests are presented.
