A laser beam correction system and related methods of use and manufacture
are provided. In one example, a laser beam correction system includes a
mirror having a first surface and a second surface. An actuator
comprising a piezoelectric ceramic disk and a plurality of conductive
electrodes on substantially opposing sides of the disk is bonded to the
second surface of the mirror. The actuator includes an aperture in a
center portion. A wave-front sensor is adapted to measure optical
wave-front characteristics of a laser beam received by the mirror and
provide electronic signals corresponding to the wave-front
characteristics.
