Deformable mirrors are optical devices used in adaptive optics systems to correct the wavefront distortions caused by atmospheric turbulence or other aberrations in optical systems. These mirrors are made up of a reflective surface that can be controlled by an array of actuators, allowing them to adjust their shape in real-time to compensate for the distortions. Deformable mirrors are commonly used in astronomical telescopes, laser systems, and other applications that require high-quality imaging or precise wavefront control. By dynamically adjusting the shape of the mirror, deformable mirrors can significantly improve the image resolution and quality by correcting for aberrations in real-time. Research in deformable mirrors focuses on improving their performance, designing more efficient control algorithms, and developing new materials and technologies for constructing these devices. These advancements can help enable a wide range of applications in optics and photonics, including high-resolution imaging, laser communication, and medical imaging.
