Abstract
Deformable mirrors used in high energy laser system suffer from problems like the stress from adhesive solidification or the relatively expensive unit price of piezoceramic actuator. The thermal driven deformable mirror (TDDM) investigated here provided a promising prospect to solve these problems. Four scenarios of TDDM were studied and compared. Results showed that the trans-reflection TDDM with flexible bonding best met the requirement in practical use. The flexible bonding excluded the stress problem in the solidification of adhesives, trans-reflection brought about enough correction range, and the choice of thermo-electric cooler as actuator could greatly bring down the cost of adaptive optics apparatus as well.
