Abstract
The relationship between the temperature distribution in a cooled mirr or and the thermal deformations of the reflecting surface is analyzed for stationary and transient conditions. The importance of considering and properly controlling the temperature distribution inside the mirr or is demonstrated. Results of comparative calculations of the deforma tions of mirrors of various materials are presented, as well as experi mental data on the thermal self-compensation of cooled mirrors.
