Abstract
The free-vibration modes of an annular mirror (FVMAM), derived from the thin plate theory and reflecting the intrinsic characteristics of the physical phenomenon of resonance, have been applied to compensate the aberrations of the active optics system. As an application example, the compensations of some low-order aberrations of the 2.5-m Wide-Field Survey Telescope with the FVMAM have been presented. In addition, a quantitative comparative study of the aberration corrections between the FVMAM and the annular Zernike polynomials has been carried out. The results have shown that the FVMAM are more effective to correct the aberrations.
