Abstract
Large Aperture Mirrors (LAMs) are critical elements of both space and ground-based telescopes. The need exists to characterize both the vibrational response and spatio-temporal modes of a membrane-based LAM’s structure. This data is essential to LAM’s design, configuration and performance when placed in the relevant space or ground operational environment. This presentation discusses the WF-LDV - a newly developed instrument capable of real-time evaluation of LAM’s vibrational spectra and spatial dynamics of its membrane-based mirror surface. WF-LDV allows real time sub-nanometer accuracy in measuring the displacement of the mirror over a multi-kHz frequency range. Our innovative WF-LDV design supports multiple modes of optical measurement tailored specifically for LAM design.
