Bimorph mirrors for laser beam correction and formation were developed and investigated. Different types of substrates and active piezoceramics materials were considered to fabricate temperature independent shape of the mirror surface and to maximize the sensitivity of the mirror. High reflectivity coatings for different wavelengths were studied.
