Active optics for high-dynamic variable curvature mirrors

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Variable curvature mirrors of large amplitude are designed by using finite element analysis. The specific case studied reaches at least a 800 μm sag with an optical quality better than λ5 over a 120 mm clear aperture. We highlight the geometrical nonlinearity and the plasticity effect.
