Angel","doi":"10.1364/oft.1986.wa5","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1364/oft.1986.wa5","url":null,"abstract":"Gravity will produce non-negligible deformation in large mirrors when it is acting in the direction of optical axis. An optimum support pattern can be found to minimize the self weight deformation. The approach of this problem provided the support pattern has adequate symmetry can be obtained from the solution of Nelson and Lubliner1 in which the mirror is assumed as a thin circular flat disk. For mirrors with internal honeycomb structure the support points are constrained by the symmetry of structure and cannot be placed in rings, as is usual for large mirrors. Given a particular structure alternative symmetrical placements of the supports were explored, and solutions obtained for the fraction of weight supported by each point to get the minimum deformation. Figure 1 shows the deformation of an optimum supported honeycomb mirror with the rib pattern shown by Angel and Woolf2. The support efficiency is 2.07 × 10−7 which is close to an ideal triangular grid with the same number of support points. Scaled to an 8-m diameter and 60 cm thickness disk it corresponds to surface rms deviation of .006μm. To study the force tolerance we choose errors of the force at each support point according to a Gaussian distribution function. Figure 2 shows the deformation of this kind of support in which the standard deviation is 0.055% of the nominal force. The support efficiency degrades to 5.08 × 10−7 in this case. For comparison, Figure 1 and Figure 2 have the same gray level.","PeriodicalId":170034,"journal":{"name":"Workshop on Optical Fabrication and Testing","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126655199","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is hoped that by informing users of recent advances in diamond turning, forward thinking in the design area will be encouraged.

The technique is based upon the application of a thick, high purity beryllium coating to a beryllium substrate. The technique has been identified as Be-on-Be Processing. The coating is fully dense, very low in dissolved impurities and free from both inclusions and second phase particles. These special qualities of the coating result in enhanced fabrication characteristics which result in the ability to polish a low-scatter finish superior to that which is obtained from conventional material. The character of the coating also results in enhanced response to rapid fabrication techniques. Single-point turning of the coating has been promising and numerous mirrors have been fabricated incorporating this technique. A Draper type polishing machine has also been modified to incorporate in-situ testing of figure utilizing interferometric evaluation of the Be-on-Be mirrors. Examples of mirrors produced with this technology are presented.","PeriodicalId":170034,"journal":{"name":"Workshop on Optical Fabrication and Testing","volume":"96 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130966733","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
