Abstract
Adaptive optics is now a standard feature for the current ultra high intensity lasers facilities. Aberration induced by both the optical components and the thermal effects in the amplification stages can be corrected with an adaptive optics system to reach both maximum peak energy and fluence. In this article, we present the development of a new technology of deformable mirror. These mirrors are designed taking into account the needs and specificities of ultra intense laser applications. They provide exceptional stability, optical quality and innovative features like scalability and maintenance of the reflective surface.
