Optimizing the shaping technology and test methods for convex aspheric surfaces of large optical items

Abstract: This paper discusses the automatic shaping technology for the convex hyperbolic surfaces of the secondary mirrors of telescopes with asphericity to 400 μm, 1 m or more in diameter. It describes a method of testing a convex mirror with an auxiliary Hindle sphere and of optimizing this method by using two Hindle spheres of smaller diameter for one item instead of one sphere of greater diameter. A method is proposed of joining the topographical maps obtained from the results of testing the surface of a hyperboloi… Show more

“…[5][6][7] This is a wide-angle terrestrial telescope with a primary hyperbolic mirror 4100 mm in diameter and a secondary mirror 1240 mm in diameter, intended for surveying the Southern Hemisphere of the sky simultaneously in the visible and IR regions. The telescope has an altazimuth mount, and the image is formed at the Cassegrain focus.…”
