A non-rotating liquid mirror based on GRIN (gradient index) optics has been proposed by Borra ... It consists of a stationary container having a thin layer of mercury covered with a transparent liquid in which one introduces a radial dependence of the index of refraction. It focuses light like a mirror but has the chromatic aberrations of a lens.
