Figure 7
With the mirror holder configured for vertical focusing, over 12 h periods the radius of curvature drifted by ∼10% (upper plot) and ∼3% (lower plot) for maximum positive and negative voltages, respectively. Remounted in a horizontal geometry, with fewer mechanical constraints, the curvature drift was only 0.4%. This gives credence to the hypothesis that the large drifts were caused by non-optimal clamping of the substrate. |
