DEFORMABLE MIRROR Russian patent published in 2016 - IPC G02B5/10 

FIELD: optics.

SUBSTANCE: invention refers to optical instrument-making, particularly to adaptive optics, and can be used in transmitting optical systems of powerful laser beam, in resonators of high-power lasers and other optical devices for correction of phase distortions. Mirror has reflecting plate (3) clamped over the contour, and installed parallel to its axis of drive (4). Ends (5) of each of drives (4) facing reflecting plate (3), are made with convex curvilinear surface. Axes of drives (4) are aligned with points of minimum thickness of the reflecting plate (3). Profile of reflecting plate (3) is made with periodically varying thickness.

EFFECT: technical result is improving the accuracy of phase correction, simplification of the device.
