During the last years, adaptive optical systems became important tools in vision science and ophthalmology. As the deformable mirror we use the Mirao 52e. It is widely used, due to a high stroke of up to ±50µm. At the our institute we use this mirror in an adaptive optical system to correct as well as to generate wavefront aberrations of the human eye. We investigated the ability of our mirror to generate defined wave front aberrations up to the 6th order. Furthermore, we analyzed the dynamic properties of the mirror to estimate the possibilities to use this mirror in a high speed operation mode.
