Abstract
Characterizing Gravity-sag (G-sag) is an essential part of developing a large space-based optic. A method to back out gravity sag of a light-weighted optic using a CGH will be demonstrated. The results from the G-sag CGH determination is compared to the G-sag and Zero-G figure obtained during horizontal G-sag testing. The results from the CGH testing are also compared to the G-sag figure determined from modeling.
