- As per NASA reports, these mirrors may enable direct imaging of exoplanets by correcting imperfections or shape changes in a space telescope down to subatomic scales.
- Notably, deformable mirrors are used in conjunction with wavefront sensors and real-time control systems in adaptive optics.
- Deformable mirrors (DM) are the mirrors whose surfaces can be bent to achieve wavefront control and optical aberration correction.
- Also, their shape can be controlled with speed.
