Abstract
Our work presents a theoretical analysis of aberration properties of a simple single-channel deformable mirror from both the aspect of modeling the shape of the mirror reflecting surface and the mechanisms of wave-front correction using such mirror. The proposed mirror can be used for a compensation of rotationally symmetrical wavefronts, e.g. focusing of optical beams, adaptive change of resonator parameters in laser technology, phase shifting, etc. The detailed analysis of possibilities of wave-front correction was performed.
► Theoretical aberration analysis of pressure-actuated deformable mirror. ► Low cost and simple design-limited wavefront correction. ► Suitable for compensation of rotationally symmetrical wavefronts.
