Example of DM commands on both continuous deformable mirrors produced by the SM algorithm that can generate a DH on HiCAT. The DM commands in units of OPD is an approximation of the introduced deflection. The black circle represents the active area of the continuous DMs. For scaling comparison, IrisAO segments are plotted in transparency. The segment footprints are not realistic here as the DM2 is out of the pupil plane.
