Research abstract
This SBIR program will identify and address the primary technical issues that limit the current precision of replicated CFRP optics. These issues must be resolved to bring this capability to the sub-micron range of precision required by the next generation of flight and ground submillimeter and far infrared projects. Were these issues resolved, this capability would provide reduced cost and risk and improved areal density, thermal stability, and stiffness to the large sub-micron optics required by the next generation of flight and ground submillimeter and far infrared projects.
