The present paper is concerned with existing deformable bimorph mirrors, their advantages and disadvantages; an effective technology of their construction is proposed providing a significant increase of the mirrors sensitivity as well as their controllable aperture. In accordance with the technology described industrial one-channel bimorph mirrors have been developed and investigated intended for use in laser optics and as well as a 3.3-meter bimorph mirror for optical telescope. Results of the investigation strongly confirm the effectiveness of the proposed technology for improvement of characteristics of controllable bimorph mirrors which represent a perfect instrument for `small' adaptive optics being of great importance for laser techniques and astronomic telescopes even today.
