Balancing polarization aberrations in crossed fold mirrors

WST Lam, R Chipman - Applied optics, 2015 - opg.optica.org
The polarization aberrations of a fold mirror can be compensated by orienting a second fold
mirror's p-polarization with the first mirror's s-polarization. This crossed-mirror configuration …
