Design Idea

Four-mirror systems with a very large aperture and a long focal length were investigated and designed. Their design idea is given. Through the derivation of primary aberration formula, the aberration properties were analyzed and discussed, and the method to determine its initial structure is reported. As examples, two four-mirror systems with spherical and parabolic primary mirror, 100m focal length, and 10m entrance pupil were optimally designed. Their imaging quality approaches diffraction limit within field of view of 0.4 and 0.5 degrees respectively.

AbstractEDISON is a large-aperture telescope under study for the second generation of infrared space observatories, whether in orbit or on the moon. The optics equilibrate via radiative cooling to temperatures between 40 and 80 K, depending upon, for example, telescope structure and location. At these temperatures, telescope emission is below that of the astronomical background at all wavelengths shortward of 20-40 μm. The detector components can be cooled via mechanical refrigerators now in an advanced stage of development. A mixture of radiative and mechanical cooling means that there is no natural limit to EDISON’s lifetime. In addition, the upper stage rocket fairing can be almost filled with light-collecting optics and alternative low-emissivity optical designs, such as off-axis systems, can be easily engineered. We are presently evaluating a design for a 2.5 m observatory to be launched in collaboration with European astronomers as part of the NASA Explorer program. In this presentation, we describe possible spectroscopic and spectrophotometric studies of very faint infrared sources that will require large-aperture space telescopes working at the celestial background limit.
