Abstract

We fabricated three freeform mirrors for the KASI-Deep Rolling Imaging Fast Telescope pathfinder, which is a confocal off-axis freeform three-mirror system with a 300 mm entrance pupil diameter. During the fabrication process, we light-weighted the primary mirror, reducing its weight by 52%. Front surfaces of these off-axis freeform mirrors were formed by a series of production process, including grinding, polishing, forming, and finishing. Measuring surface profile has been performed by using Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMMs) for the grinding process and an interferometer with Computer Generated Holograms (CGHs) for polishing, forming, and finishing process. The test results for all three mirrors were well within the required value of 20 nm RMS.
