    In order to obtain high-quality multi-wavelength coherent Airy beams without chromatic aberration, we propose a method for generating multi-wavelength Airy beams based on deformable mirrors, and through simulation and experiment, the generation and propagation characteristics of multi-wavelength Airy beams are studied. The experimental results show that the deformable mirrors can effectively eliminate the influence of chromatic aberration on the beam and generate a high-quality multi-wavelength Airy beam, and the main lobe does not undergo chromatic aberration separation and diffraction during propagation. In addition, the main lobe of the generated multi-wavelength Airy beam can heal itself after propagating for a certain distance when it is blocked by an opaque obstacle. This research provides a basis for the potential applications of multi-wavelength Airy beams in the fields of multispectral imaging and optical micromanipulation.
