Free Form Mirrors for Ultra Compact High Speed Optical Systems Project
Project Description
This task is to collaboratively design and fabricate the free-form WIRIS telescope primary mirror with our partner Zygo as a technology demonstration. Fabricating the primary is challenging as it has 865 um of aspheric departure and is not rotationally symmetric.
More »Anticipated Benefits
Compact fast, wide-field telescopes can be used in diverse space and terrestrial applications including: astrophysics, earth observing, planetary science, reconnaissance.
