Research abstract
With the increasing need for high performance optical mirrors, Trex will look to further optimize the as-deposited surface properties of CVC SiC. Improvement in the as-deposited surface figure or finish offers significant potential to reduce the fabrication cost and delivery time. Optimization of the surface quality of as-deposited its proprietary CVC SiC will compress the procurement schedule for CVC SiC mirrors, especially as the aperture increases towards 1.5-meter class structures.
