Abstract
Innovative opto-mechanical designs and fabrication techniques have led to a new generation of optical telescopes. The key developments have been in mirror design and glass manufacturing techniques. Telescopes have been built around three separate types of mirror design, none of which could have been manufactured before 1990.
