Our long-standing expertise in deformable mirror technology enables us to provide custom design-manufacturing services for both corporate and government organizations. See below for examples of our exciting capabilities.




1,024 actuators Tip-tilt motion Hexagonal pixels Hexagonal mirror array 1 µm stroke
Boston Micromachines has successfully developed a hexagonal mirror featuring tip-tilt piston motion for use in a space-based coronograph. Development was funded by NASA for the Terrestrial Planet Finding Mission (TPF).



4k actuators 25 mm aperture
BMC is currently providing custom services for a planet-imaging coronograph funded by the Gemini Observatory. When fully developed, this CDM will have a 25 mm aperture and over 4,000 actuators!
