Abstract
An integrated actuator meniscus mirror includes an optical substrate having a mirror surface on one side and a support structure on the other and a plurality of actuators embedded in the support structure, spaced from and generally parallel to the mirror surface for applying bending moments to the mirror surface for controllably altering the shape of the mirror surface.
