Rudolf Kingslake Medal and Prize

The Rudolf Kingslake Medal is awarded annually in recognition of the most noteworthy original paper to appear in the Society's official journal, Optical Engineering, on the theoretical or experimental aspects of optical engineering. All papers published in the journal are automatically eligible for consideration for this award. (Nominations are not required.) Honorarium $2,000.

 

 

The 2011 Rudolf Kingslake Medal and Prize is awarded to Lucy E. Cohan and David W. Miller, of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA, for their paper titled "Integrated modeling for design of lightweight, active mirrors." published in the June 2011 issue of Optical Engineering.

The Rudolf Kingslake Medal and Prize is awarded annually in recognition of the most noteworthy original paper to appear in Optical Engineering on theoretical or experimental aspects of optical engineering. The 2011 Rudolf Kingslake Medal and Prize is awarded to Lucy E. Cohan and David W. Miller for their paper entitled "Integrated modeling for design of lightweight, active mirrors," which appeared in the June 2011 issue. This paper, selected by the Kingslake Award Committee, is recognized for describing how to enhance the resolution and sensitivity of space telescope systems using integrated modeling for lightweight active mirror design. The developed models determine the design space and error limits as well as sustainability during the launch process. It is a comprehensive work, encompassing optical performance, launching parameters, and correction ability while in space.
