English: Schematic illustration of a deformable mirror correcting a perturbed wavefront. When a wavefront is perturbed for whatever reason, applying a phase shift with half the amplitude (because the reflection doubles the effect) can correct the wavefront to its original shape before perturbation. In such situations a deformable mirror can be used, although the correction is never perfect because the deformable mirror has a finite number of elements (actuators).
