The Optimization of a Convex Aspheric Lightweight SiC Mirror and Its Optical Metrology

Space telescopes with large diameters or with wide fields require convex secondary mirrors which are mounted at the front of telescope. In this paper, a convex aspheric lightweight SiC mirror and Hindle detection method are presented. A parameter optimization method is utilized in the mirror design process in which the mirror surface accuracy is taken as the objective. As the mirror has a relative high diameter-to-thickness ratio, an S-type flexure support is proposed to maintain the surface figure under gravity, thermal change and assembly error. To minimize the surface figure under these loads, the design principle is studied separately. The optical metrology is performed by the Hindle ball supported by a gravity offloading system. The tested surface had an accuracy of λ/100 root mean square (λ = 632.8 nm). In addition, the mechanical design was validated by dynamic testing.
