Freeform Surface Characterization and Instrument Alignment for Freeform Space Applications

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

CMM metrology provides simple, 3D surface data used for prescription retrieval, figure error, and alignment with high accuracy without null-correctors. Two freeform mirrors for a compact telescope were successfully characterized and aligned using the CMM.
