Research abstract
Single Crystal Silicon is much more cost effective to polish because it does not require a coating to produce an acceptable optical surface on materials as does Beryllium or Silicon Carbide. SCSi is very stiff, has low density, high thermal conductivity, costs less, can be polished directly, safe to handle, and is a very stable optic material. The objective of this SBIR program is to produce samples for testing and to demonstrate our technology to provide solutions for specific problems of kill vehicle telescopes.
