Abstract
The Changchun Institute of Optics, Fine Mechanics and Physics (CIOMP) team is developing Giant Steerable Science Mirror (GSSM) for Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT). This paper will combine PSSn to analyze the error characteristics of GSSM. To evaluate the performance of the large telescope under different kinds of error source, the normalized point source sensitivity is introduced, which is firstly studied by the group of thirty meter telescope team to balance all the deviation of the telescope and also budget the error. First and foremost, the character of the normalized point source sensitivity is studied in the very first part and the advantage in the evaluation in all the frequency domain. Then the PSSn is compared with the traditional metric, such as RMS and the multiplication property is discussed. The experienced formula is used to show the relationship between the PSSn and the error sources, static and dynamic. Lastly, the method is applied to a large aperture telescope.
