Supporting structure of 620 mm thin primary mirror and its active surface correction
In order to improve the surface precision of a thin primary mirror in a large aperture telescope at different altitude angles
the active correction procedure based on vibration modal calibration was proposed. For a thin primary mirror with the 620 mm in diameter
18 mm in thickness and the axial munting in 36 points for the active support
the lateral mounting in 6 tangent points for the passive support
the free vibration mode of primary mirror was analyzed by finite element method and the first 10 vibration modes of the primary mirror were calibrated. Their RMS values were unified to 1 000 nm
also the calibration forces were calculated. Furthermore
the surface of the primary mirror with different altitude angles was analyzed
the deformations were fitted by the modal vibration mode using least square method
and the corrective forces were calculated. Finally
the corrected surface precision and initiative surface precision were compared
and the fitted surface precision and remanent surface precision were analyzed after the second active correction. Corrected results demonstrate that the deformation (RMS) of the primary mirror is corrected from 27.64 nm to 12.95 nm while it is vertically positioned by using the maximum corrective force of 2.23 N
and from 7.68 nm to 2.84 nm while horizontally positioned by using the maximum corrective force of 0.59 N. The simulation shows that the algorithm using modal vibration to actively correct the primary mirror surface is feasible.
