<strong>The</strong> helium enclosure is a<br />
containment unit that houses<br />
helium and an embedded optical<br />
system in order to improve the<br />
wavefront error with the relative<br />
reduction <strong>of</strong> the thermal gradient<br />
that is typically induced by air. <strong>The</strong><br />
final helium enclosure product is<br />
able to perform optical testing<br />
under an effectively eliminated<br />
thermal gradient, enabling a much closer result to theoretical analysis than<br />
before. This project will also verify the effectiveness <strong>of</strong> helium in mitigating thermal<br />
gradients that are normally seen in air.
