Abstract: An assembly for fixing an optical element in a manner that decouples the optical element from mechanical stresses and thermal strains while providing freedom to facilitate alignment of the optical element, and while also eliminating polymers that can cause contamination problems including a mount configured for attachment to an optical system; a plurality of flexible members each having a first end affixed to or integrally extending from the mount, and a free end defining a bearing surface for supporting an optical element; and a polymer free bonding agent forming a hydroxide-catalyzed bond joining a surface of the optical member to the bearing surface. The optical element may be aligned with the flexible members without resting on the flexible members.

Abstract: A magnification adjustable projection system is provided that includes an imaging system having an object or image space, a first deformable lens plate located within the object or image space for contributing a first magnification power to the imaging system as a function of an amount of curvature of the first deformable lens plate, and a second deformable lens plate located within the object or image space for contributing a second magnification power to the imaging system as a function of an amount of curvature of the second deformable lens plate. The projection system also has first and second bending apparatuses that adjust the curvature of the first and second deformable lens plate through a range of curvature variation for adjusting the magnification power of the imaging system.

Abstract: An optic obscuration assembly, a system and method for working on an optical element, and the resulting optical element are described herein. In one example, the system and related components (e.g., optic obscuration assembly, positioning system, and coating system) allow the accurate placement of a very round thin metal obscuration (e.g., thin metal disk) in the center of a front surface of the optical element before a high reflective thin film coating is applied to the front surface. Once, the optical element has had the high reflective thin film coating applied thereto then the thin metal obscuration is removed to reveal a transmissive aperture.
