Patent abstract
A method and apparatus is configured for reflecting a beam of light incident at a primary mirror by rotating a first mirror segment to align a selected facet of the mirror segment to be generally orthogonal to the principal axis. The first mirror segment is translated in a motion parallel to the principal axis to a first position such that the mirrored segment at a facet comprising a mirror is brought into alignment with at least one second mirrored segment to form at a facet a first parabolic mirror. The incident beam of light is then reflected by collimating the first parabolic mirror by rotation and translation of the first mirror segment to strike a first secondary element.
