  • VARIABLE RADIUS MIRROR
    Publication number: 20240053601
    Abstract: A variable radius mirror includes a mirror element having a deformable face with an outer surface incorporating a reflective element. The deformable face is deformable in response to a pressure applied by a pressure medium acting on an inner surface of the deformable face. A ring extends around a perimeter of the deformable face and protrudes from the inner surface of the deformable face. The mirror element further includes at least one of a plurality of steps recessed at different depths into the inner surface of the deformable face, a cooling cavity having a pair of manifolds between the outer surface and the inner surface of the deformable face, and a sidewall of the ring having a curved inner surface and a curved outer surface.
