Abstract

This paper describes new optical correctors which are phase conjugated to a mirror and allow, in most cases, a residual distorsion of the outgoing wave front as low as λ/40 (16 nm) peak to peak. Such a high resolution system is possible with Deep U.V. photoresist correctors registered at 257 nm in a diverging Michelson-Twyman interferometer directly by the mirror to be corrected itself, without any intermediary steps. Some results obtained with this technique are given. They show the potential interest of this method for optical imaging system in space involving large mirror and/or Ultraviolet imaging.
