High-precision fabrication of 4m SiC aspheric mirror
Abstract
The 4 m diameter SiC aspheric mirror emerges due to a series of technological breakthroughs in blank mirror preparation, asphere fabrication, and testing, as well as cladding and coating, laying the groundwork for future research into large SiC mirrors for astronomical observation.
