Re: Conic constant temperature invariant?

Hello Richard,

thank you very much for the answer. Can you also tell me some literature
where I can find information about the thermal analysis of optical elements?

Greetings

Florian

Hello fellows,

I am doing some thinking about the temperature dependence of the conic
constant of a non-spherical surface. Can anybody recommand literature
about this topic or knows how it behaves? I would like to know if the
concic constant changes when e.g. a hyperbolic mirror is heated
homogenously.

There is no change in the conic conic constant when the mirror is
heated homogeneously. The only parts that change is the [central]
radius of curvature and the size/thickness.
