This paper describes a method for using and monitoring local deformations of adaptive mirrors by means of a holographic interferometer. Interference patterns of the mirror surface are obtained and permit qualitative and quantitative analysis of the deformations. The holographic interferometer produces interference patterns of the surface-deformation amplitude distribution of adaptive mirrors actuated by static and dynamic drives. The interferometer obtains an interference pattern of the surface-deformation distribution of adaptive mirrors in the dynamic regime at an arbitrary instant of time.
