Abstract

This paper presents the principle of stressed mirror polishing for rapid and low fabrication of the large number of aspheric mirror. By means of establishing corresponding mathematical model, a proposed method for producing mid or large sized aspheric mirror is discussed in detail. Based on the mechanics of elasticity, we emphasize the feasibility of axisymmetric aspheric mirror and prepare for the next investigation of paraboloid mirror.
