Optical Testing Applied to a 6.5-Meter Mirror

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We present an optical testing method for the fabrication of a hyperbolic mirror of 6.5-m diameter using a small aperture interferometer. A conic that best fits an off-axis conic section of the mirror is analyzed in order to implement an optical testing method by using sub-apertures.
