Abstract
Optical surface distorting thermal stresses are significantly reduced in an optical reflector by a structure consisting of a plurality of hollow reflector cells. Each cell has a light reflecting surface arranged to provide a composite continuous reflecting surface for an incident optical wavefront. Each reflector cell includes an internally located feeder tube which directs a flow of coolant from a manifold distribution system against internal cell walls.
