Algorithm and mathematical model for geometric positioning of segments on aspherical composite mirror by B. Conquet, L. F. Zambrano, N. K. Artyukhina, R. V. Fiodоrtsev, A. R. Silie

“…This approach allows: to expand the spectral operating range from 0.2 to 11.0 μm and to increase the diameter of the entrance pupil of the receiving optical system, while maintaining the optimal value of the exponent mS– mass per unit area.Two variants of adjusting the position of mirror segments are considered when forming an aspherical surface of the second order, with respect to the base surface of the nearest sphere, including geometrical and opto-technical positioning.The purpose of the research was to develop an algorithm for solving the problem of geometric positioning of hexagonal segments of a mirror telescope, constructing an optimal circuit for traversing elements when aligning to the nearest radius to an aspherical surface, and also to program the output calculation parameters to verify the adequacy of the results obtained.Various methods for forming arrays from regular hexagonal segments with equal air gaps between them are considered. …”
