Active Optics–Freeform Segment Mirror Replications from a Deformable Matrix
We present a new active optics method for making smooth aspheric, or freeform, mirrors by replication technique from an elastically deformable matrix. The mirror replicas provide an equivalent aberration correction to that of an off-axis segment of a Schmidt plate. The method describes geometry of a...
