Estimating the term…
The general field provided is that of telescopes comprising an optical system and wavefront-analyzing placed in the focal plane of the optical system. The optical system comprises focusing optics and magnifying optics, the magnifying optics comprising a deformable mirror, the deformation of which is controllable. The telescope comprises monitoring the deformable mirror, comprising a source placed so that the image of the source, after reflection from the deformable mirror, is focused on the wavefront-analyzing. The monitoring comprises a movable mirror having two positions, a rest position and a monitoring position. The source may either be placed in the intermediate focal plane of the focusing optics, or at the focal point of a monitoring mirror, or even in the vicinity of the focal plane of the optical system.
A telescope comprising at least one optical system and wavefront-analyzing means placed in the focal plane of said optical system, the optical system comprising focusing optics and magnifying optics, the magnifying optics comprising a deformable mirror, the deformation of which is controllable, wherein the magnifying optics comprises a single concave mirror and two plane mirrors, and in that the telescope comprises means for monitoring the deformable mirror, said monitoring means comprising a source placed so that the image of said source, after reflection from, at least, the deformable mirror, is focused on the wavefront-analyzing means placed in the focal plane of the telescope.
