Abstract

A radial multi-segmental adjustable support, characterized by easy installation and radial fine adjustment, is designed to meet the rotational motion requirements of the large-aperture scan prism. A dynamic analysis method is established to study the dynamic response of variable loads on a rotating prism, which is suitable for the dynamic performance analysis on the optical system, and can provide references for the performance analysis on similar optical systems. The surface deformation of the prism is fitted by the Zernike polynomial. The fitting errors of PV and RMS values are all within the allowable range, which can meet precision requirements for the surface figure.
