A solar cylindrical parabolic mirror with a 730 x 2600 mm aperture and a 105 mm focal length has been designed and built by elastically bending thin glass mirror sheets. This parabolic mirror was used to build a precission solar concentrator with a high collection efficiency for incident light. (AIP)
