Dm. Lyakhov et Oi. Shanin, OPTIMIZING THE CONTROL OF THE SHAPE OF THE OPTICAL-SURFACE OF CIRCULAR PLATES, Journal of optical technology, 61(7), 1994, pp. 522-525
An algorithm is considered for determining the layout for placing the
minimum num drives to ensure a given accuracy when profiling the surfa
ce shape of a controllable mirror with a circular aperture. Examples o
f calculations are given, and an analysis is carried out that makes it
possible to simplify the search for the optimum placement of the driv
es on the surface of the plate.
