Abstract
In this thesis, Ionic Polymer Metal Composite is used as Deformable mirror in an optical system for auto-focus and zoom functions. Ionic Polymer Metal Composite or IPMC shows greater potentials equivalent to or better than the conventional Electro-active polymer (EAP) as deformable mirror in these three aspects; more flexible, large deformation displacement (comparable to conventional one), low input voltage (1-3V to activate). Finite Element Method or FEM was used in this thesis for simulation process and prediction of IPMC Deformable Mirror (DM) design. From FEM analysis with gray box model approximation, the analytical solution can be obtained. Then, verification process with more than three different designs is conducted to confirm the correctness of the analytical solution. In addition, more details and complex design are reported in the latter chapter. Most of the simulation process seems to be satisfied the requirements as Deformable Mirror in optical system.
