Method of thermally compensating optical mirrors
Abstract
Abstract A METHOD OF THERMALLY COMPENSATING A MIRROR COMPRISING THE STEPS OF FORMING A LAMINATED MIRROR STRUCTURE HAVING A REFLECTIVE FRONT SURFACE, A REAR SURFACE DEFINING A COOLANT OUTLET, A PLURALITY OF INTERMEDIATE PLATES DEFINING COOLANT DISTRIBUTION PASSAGEWAYS FOR CIRCULATING COOLANT FLUID IN HEAT EXCHANGING RELATION WITH SAID REFLECTIVE SURFACE AND ESTABLISHING A MINIMUM TEMPERATURE PLANE WITHIN SAID STRUCTURE EXTENDING PARALLEL TO SAID SURFACES, AND COOLANT INLET MEANS FOR DELIVERY COOLANT FLUID TO SAID DISTRIBUTION PASSAGEWAYS, DETERMINING THE THERMAL DISTRIBUTION THROUGH SAID STRUCTURE TO DETERMINE THE LOCATION OF THE NEUTRAL PLANE OF SAID STRUCTURE; AND ADJUSTING SAID STRUCTURE TO BALANCE THE THERMAL MOMENTS ABOUT SAID NEUTRAL PLANE.
