Subject: Updates and Current Next Steps for Toroidal Mirrors Project 
Since the previous discussion of this project, I've worked on building finesse models to verify mathematical results which model the astigmatism in a two mirror system which we attempt to minimize. This left us with a single condition for an output non-astigmatic beam. However, as can be seen in finesse simulations, there does exist other configurations which have a negligibly small astigmatism, which we may want to consider. Below I've attached the link to my overleaf project which has some updated information which I plan on discussing.
