Abstract
A series tailored athermally stabilized optical (STASO) telescope system (STASOS) and method (STASOM) is disclosed. The disclosed system/method separates an optical mirror source (OMS) and an optical focal target (OFT) via a first metering rod (FMR), second metering rod (SMR), and third metering rod (TMR) where the FMR, SMR, and TMR each comprise a first retaining rod (FRR) comprised of a material having a first thermal expansion (FTE) coefficient and a second retaining rod (SRR) comprised of a material having a second thermal expansion (STE) coefficient. The FMR, SMR, and TMR are constructed so as to be athermally stabilized to ensure that the OMS and OFT remain separated at a constant or controlled distance over a predetermined temperature range by selection of appropriate FTE and STE coefficients.
