Abstract
The use of deformable mirrors (DMs) in adaptive optics (AO) systems allows for compensation of various external and internal optical disturbances during image aquisition. For example, an astronomical telescope equipped with a fast deformable secondary mirror can compensate for atmospheric disturbances and wind shake of the telescope structure resulting in higher image resolution [1–4]. In microscopy, deformable mirrors allow to correct for aberrations caused by local variations of the refractive index of observed specimen. Especially confocal and multi-photon microscopes particularly benefit from the improved resolution for visualization of cellular structures and subcellular processes [5, 6]. In addition, results of applied adaptive optics for detection of eye diseases and in vitro retinal imaging on the cellular level show promising examination and treatment opportunities [7–9].

Subspace Identification of Distributed Clusters of Homogeneous Systems

TL;DR: The Markov parameters of the decoupled LTI systems are identified first by solving a nuclear-norm regularized convex optimization, following the state-space realization of a single LTI system within the cluster by solving another nuclear- norm regularized optimization problem.

Point-actuated feedback control of multidimensional interfaces

TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider the application of feedback control strategies with point actuators to stabilise desired interface shapes and find that point-actuated control may inhibit unbounded growth of a solution, if they are sufficient in number and in strength, and can exponentially stabilise the desired state.

Geometry and Physics of Wrinkling

TL;DR: A general theory of wrinkling is deduced, valid far from the onset of the instability, using elementary geometry and the physics of bending and stretching to form the basis of a highly sensitive quantitative wrinkling assay for the mechanical characterization of thin solid membranes.
