Holographic correction of large aberrated telescopes

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Large aperture telescopes are required for lidar and astronomy. Heliographic correction of aberrated primary optical elements is an inexpensive method of fabricating such telescopes. Our work [1,2] has concentrated on producing a compact design in which the overall length of the instrument is minimised to the radius of curvature of the spherical primary mirror while maintaining the simplicity of the design by the use of inexpensive optical components.
