Abstract

By now Adaptive optics systems are used at nearly all large telescopes. Over the past years not only the number of applications increased but as well the correction order and specialization have evolved. One key element following and sometimes driving the development of adaptive optics is the wavefront corrector. The construction and development of the ELTs and other new facilities pushed the development of new and much larger deformable mirrors. An overview of the available and newly developed technologies with their key performances is presented.
