[en] New demands for space and earth observations
drive the need for large apertures of 10 m and higher in
telescopes. This requires new types of alternative lightweight
and deployable primary reflector or lens concepts
with aerial densities of\3 kg/m2. Some syntheses between
optical and especially mechanical and material aspects for
large planar photon sieves and non-imaging telescopes are
discussed. Focus is put on large planar and highly perforated
membranes for photon sieves and shell-membrane
type deployable (parabolic) reflectors, respectively. The
reflecting surface of the latter is composed of specific
C-fiber reinforces silicone (CFRS) material. In addition to
possible shape control, emphasis is also given to reflective
coating of CFRS. Engineering challenges requiring future
activities are identified.
