Abstract
Content

According to a proposal, membranes to be used in inflatable focusing mirrors (see Figure 1) would be designed and fabricated with parabolic radial variations of thickness. More specifically, for a mirror membrane with a diameter D, the thickness (t) at a given radial distance (r) from the optical axis would be given by
