Tornoe, S. (ECE) – Improving the UV optical response and suppressing surface plasmon resonance in aluminum and silver base telescope mirrors
Hybrid Event
Aluminum and silver are excellent metal-bases for astronomical telescopes designed for broadband spectral measurements. In particular silver excels in the violet to infrared spectral range range with over 95% reflectance. In turn aluminum excels deep ultra-violet to infrared with over 90% reflectance across the bulk of its spectral range. In astronomical telescope optics, each percent […]
