Abstract

The paper describes bimorph mirrors purposed for operation in industrial laser machines. A detailed study of the technical parameters of cooled single channel deformable mirrors has been carried out. Results are given of preliminary tests of the uncooled bimorph mirrors in CO₂ industrial laser machine with output radiation power exceeding 2 kW as well as in the laser machine using a pulsed copper vapor laser with mean radiation power of 35 W.
