The deformable mirror demonstration mission (DeMi) CubeSat: optomechanical design validation and laboratory calibration [PDF]
Astronomical Telescopes + Instrumentation, 2018 Coronagraphs on future space telescopes will require precise wavefront correction to detect Earth-like exoplanets near their host stars. High-actuator count microelectromechanical system (MEMS) deformable mirrors provide wavefront control with low size ...

An active piezoelectric plane X-ray focusing mirror with a linearly changing thickness [PDF]
Journal of Synchrotron RadiationX-ray mirrors for synchrotron radiation are often bent into a curved figure and work under grazing-incidence conditions due to the strong penetrating nature of X-rays to most materials.

Thermal deformation compensation scheme to the sub-nanometre level of a piezoelectric offset mirror for MHz repetition rate free-electron laser [PDF]
Journal of Synchrotron RadiationFree-electron laser (FEL) facilities operating at MHz repetition rates can emit lasers with average powers reaching hundreds of watts. Partial absorption of this power induces thermal deformation of a few micrometres on the mirror surface.
