Beschreibungen/Notizen
Advances in optical coating and materials technology have been one of the key motivators for the development of missions such as the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer recently selected by NASA for an Explorer class mission in the mid 1990's. We review the performance of a range of candidate coatings for normal incidence and glancing incidence applications, and discuss strengths and problem areas for their use in space. The importance of recent developments in multilayer films, chemical vapor deposited SiC (CVD-SiC) mirrors, and SiC films are discussed in the context of EUV instrumentation design. For example, the choice of optical coatings is a design driver for the selection of the average glancing angle for the FUSE telescope, and impacts efficiency, short wavelength cut-off, and physical size.
