Research output: Contribution to conferencePaper

Abstract

We investigate the capabilities of a deformable mirror at improving lateral trapping force by correcting for aberrations. The optimum mirror shape was determined with a genetic algorithm using bead displacement from equilibrium as a merit factor.
