Abstract
Over the past decade or two, as new technologies have shifted product emphasis toward electronic features and digital processing, optical system design has frequently been relegated to a low priority. Recently, however, there has been a revival of interest in solving optical problems with innovative optical system designs. Liquid mirrors are such new tools available to the optical designers. Rotating liquids make inexpensive and high quality large parabolic mirrors useful for solving optical problems.
