Comparison between Diamond-NOM slope profilometry (solid lines) and finite-element analysis (FEA) (dashed curves) showing how gravity affects the E-line mirror (after removal of best-fit cylinders). The larger-amplitude (blue and green) curves show the mirror's profile before applying a central gravity compensator, as measured by the Diamond-NOM and calculated by FEA, respectively. The smaller-amplitude (red and black) curves show the mirror's profile after applying the gravity compensator, as measured by the Diamond-NOM and calculated by FEA, respectively. Adding the gravity compensator improves the slope error from ∼500 nrad to ∼200 nrad r.m.s.
