The current research investigates the characteristics of Airy beams generated with deformable mirrors (DM). After the Zernike polynomial was used to decompose their phases, a phase-tuning model consisting of linear combinations of multiple Zernike polynomials was established, and a coefficient was introduced for each polynomial in the combination. Then, the effects of different Zernike polynomial coefficients on the Airy beam structure and quality were simulated. The Airy beam generation experiment was conducted using a 69-unit deformable mirror, and the beam intensity distribution under different coefficient combinations was tested and analyzed. The beam characteristics of Airy beam can be controlled by the adjustment of Zernike polynomial coefficients.
