Manufacturers of deformable mirrors typically provide calibration data that encode for the fabrication tolerances among the actuators and mirror segments to support open-loop control with high wave front fidelity and accuracy. We report a calibration method that enables users of the deformable mirrors to measure the response of the mirror itself to validate and improve the calibration data. For this purpose, an imaging off-axis Michelson interferometer was built that allowed measuring the mirror topography with high accuracy and sufficient spatial resolution. By calibrating each actuator over its entire range, the open-loop performance for our deformable mirror was improved. dc:creator: Marcel Leutenegger and Stefan W.
