    Abstract

    The slope of the root-mean square (RMS) can be applied to evaluate mid-spatial frequency mirror surface errors for larger-aperture mirrors. In this paper, the slope RMS is analyzed from three different perspectives. First, the relationship between the slope RMS and the basis polynomials is discussed, and the mathematical relationship between the slope RMS and the standard orthogonal basis is obtained. Second, the slope RMS is analyzed by applying the Wiener process, with the results indicating that the ideal mirror surface error obeys the Gauss distribution law. Then, a power spectrum analysis method based on the slope RMS is proposed. Finally, the method is used to analyze the Thirty Meter Telescope tertiary mirror surface figure.
