Influence of Fabrication and Assembly Errors on the Root Mean Square Surface Distortion of a 2 m Lightweight Mirror and Its Correction

The influence of fabrication and assembly errors on the surface distortion due to gravity of a 2 m primary mirror and its correction method are presented. The effect of fabrication errors on the surface distortion is verified by Monte Carlo analysis. The results show that, within the 46.3% confidenc...
