Abstract
The next generation of x-ray telescopes will require mirror segments to be characterized to a surface uncertainty of 5 nm RMS or better. We present axial shift mapping, a Fizeau interferometry method to characterized near-cylindrical null correctors and surfaces. We extend our previously tested technique to cylindrical optics of similar dimensions to x-ray telescope mirrors. We report on progress towards full surface extraction of a cylindrical optic using axial shift mapping.
