Thermal distortion modeling of mirrors based on experimental data

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Mirrors are modeled to match test results from the Thermal Distortion Test Facility (TDTF) at Kirtland AFB, Albuquerque, N.M. The model allows distortions resulting from realistic beam profiles to be accurately calculated from a closed-form five-parameter equation. The basic modeling concepts as well as the model’s capabilities are discussed. A comparison of model distortion predictions with observed distortions resulting from a high-energy laser beam is made.
