Advances in Metrology for X-Ray and EUV Optics.
We are developing grazing-incidence x-ray optics for a balloon-borne hard-x-ray telescope (HERO). The instrument will have 200 cm2 effective collecting area at 40 keV and an angular resolution goal of 15 arcsec. The HERO mirror shells are fabricated

Optical Fabrication, Metrology, and Material Advancements for Telescopes.
The Constellation-X Spectroscopy X-ray telescope (SXT) is designed to be built from X-ray optic segments. The X-ray segments will be fabricated from the segmented mandrels using a replication process. The purpose of the incoming metrology is to map t

Ground based testing is a critical and costly part of component, assembly, and system verifications of large space telescopes. At such tests, however, with integral teamwork by planners, analysts, and test personnel, segments can be included to valid

This paper discusses NASTRAN structural analysis of the Sub-Scale Beryllium Mirror Demonstrator (SBMD), which has been developed by Ball Aerospace as an experimental design concept for the Next Generation Space Telescope (NGST). The mirror was repeat

The Krylov matrix method is a powerful numerical algorithm for efficiently and accurately calculating several of the lowest loss transverse bare cavity eigenmodes of unstable optical resonators. In current laser models, loaded cavity modes are calcul

Photon statistics are obtained from exact closed-form solutions for both spontaneous and stimulated coherent emissions by a large number of two-level atoms in a Dicke state. Depending on the initial excitation level of the atoms, three types of photo

The deleterious effects of diffraction by the outcoupling aperture on optical resonator intensity profiles, feedback ratios, alignment sensitivities, and dependence of mode separation on Fresnel numbers can be alleviated by adding a phase step near t

Misalignment of unstable optical resonators can have significant deleterious effects on the transverse modes. As previously reported,1 actual mode switching may occur at mirror tilt angles that are small compared with the geometrical critical angle.

The mode-medium interaction (MMI) in pulsed carbon-dioxide lasers results from the laser-induced medium perturbation (LIMP) effect. 1 The LIMP effect is due to the faster vibration-translation (V-T) deactivation rate of the lower laser level compared
