Tertiary mirror location diversity on very large etendue telescope architectures

Research output: Contribution to journalConference articlepeer-review

Abstract

Two distinct reflective telescope designs utilizing a variation of three-mirror anastigmat configuration were investigated. We demonstrate how the strategic placement of the tertiary mirror significantly influences the telescope's form factor, enabling compact architectures for very large aperture systems. These designs achieve large etendue and high imaging throughput, critical for astronomical observations in the era of big data.
