An active piezoelectric plane X-ray focusing mirror with a linearly changing thickness [PDF]

Journal of Synchrotron Radiation
X-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 Radiation
Free-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.

Scalable stacked array piezoelectric deformable mirror for astronomy and laser processing applications [PDF]

Review of Scientific Instruments, 2014
A prototype of a scalable and potentially low-cost stacked array piezoelectric deformable mirror (SA-PDM) with 35 active elements is presented in this paper. This prototype is characterized by a 2 μm maximum actuator stroke, a 1.4 μm mirror sag (measured for a 14 mm × 14 mm area of the unpowered SA-PDM), and a ±200 nm hysteresis error.

Analysis of a discrete-layout bimorph disk elements piezoelectric deformable mirror [PDF]

Journal of Astronomical Telescopes, Instruments, and Systems, 2018
We introduce a discrete-layout bimorph disk elements piezoelectric deformable mirror (DBDEPDM), driven by the circular flexural-mode piezoelectric actuators. We formulated an electromechanical model for analyzing the performance of the new deformable mirror. As a numerical example, a 21-actuators DBDEPDM with an aperture of 165 mm was modeled.
