INFLUENCE OF IMPERFECTIONS OF RADIATION AND TECHNOLOGY ON THE THERMALLY DEFORMED STATE OF OPTICAL ELEMENTS

The authors have performed calculation and an analysis of the thermally stressed state of optical elements (mirror, passage windows, and beam splitters). A study has been made of the temperature fi elds, stresses, bending thermal displacements, and expansions of the optical surface of these elements under inhomogeneous local conditions of their loading depending on the defects existing in them.
