Morphing of Segmented Bimorph Mirrors [PDF]
International Journal of Optomechatronics, 2010 Atmospheric turbulence compensation for the next generation of terrestrial telescopes (30–40 m diameter) will require deformable mirrors of increasing size and a number of actuators reaching several thousands. However, the mere extrapolation of existing designs leads to complicated and extremely expensive mirrors.

Polarimetric characterization of segmented mirrors [PDF]
Applied Optics, 2022 We study the impact of the loss of axial symmetry around the optical axis on the polarimetric properties of a telescope with a segmented primary mirror when each segment is present in a different aging stage. The different oxidation stage of each segment as it is substituted in time leads to nonnegligible cross-talk terms.

Mirrors with regular hexagonal segments [PDF]
Applied Optics, 2003 The point-spread function and emissivity are calculated for a mirror made from regular hexagonal segments of just a few different sizes. A mirror of this type has many similar segments, which is an advantage for manufacturing, and for an approximately f/1 mirror with > or = 1000 segments and > or = 4 sizes of regular hexagons the increase in ...
