Abstract

Abstract

With the continuous development of astronomical exploration, the aperture of telescopes is getting larger and larger. Segmented mirror technology offers a viable and much simpler alternative to a large single monolithic primary mirrors, and has become an important way of designing the primary mirror of large-aperture telescopes. This paper summarizes the current development status of various technologies with reference to the primary mirror design of typical segmented telescopes such as the JWST and TMT, and elaborates on the performance differences and mirror supports of different segmented primary mirror schemes under the background of large-scale sub-mirrors. Potential future development trends of this technology and co-phasing detection technology are provided. This research acts as a reference for the independent development of the next generation of very large aperture optical infrared telescopes in China.
- segmented mirror,
- large-aperture optical telescopes,
- sub-mirror support,
