Full Surface Testing of Grazing Incidence Mirrors

Abstract

The goals of this project for the first year (first four quarters) have been achieved. These include: (1) Prototype design, (2) Procurement and testing of components, (3) Mathematics and algorithm development, (4) Interferogram data reduction algorithms, (5) Construction of first prototype, and (6) Automated operation software development. The fifth quarter and sixth quarter goals are: (1) construction and evaluation of a modified prototype, (2) Integration of automated hardware controls and software, and (3) Testing of the full surface interferometer on aspheric optical surfaces.
