ABSTRACT:
A novel design method suitable for use in an optical system comprising a mirror, a mirror mount, and a flexure that can connect the mirror to the mirror mount. The optical system may undergo a known temperature differential. In turn, each of the components of the optical system may individually dilate or contract in response to the temperature differential. The method accommodates these dilations/contractions, so that they may be accommodated in a known way, thereby avoiding temperature differential induced distortions of the optical system.
