Abstract: A reflector comprises a fiber reinforced plastic plate having a concave shape, a reflecting membrane uniformly formed on the concave surface of the fiber reinforced plastic plate, and a support for anchoring the plate to an immovable.

Abstract: A fiber reinforced plastic reflector has a sandwich construction and comprises a core, two fiber reinforced plastic plates which are secured to opposite sides of the core, and a reflecting film which is formed on the outer surface of one of the fiber reinforced plastic plates. The core is made from an isotropic material having a low density and a low linear expansion coefficient. In one form of the invention, the core is a plate of a material selected from a uniform foamed metal having a density of 0.1-1.0 g/cm.sup.3 ; uniform, porous glass having a density of 0.05-1.0 g/cm.sup.3 ; and a uniform, porous ceramic having a density of 0.3-1.0 g/cm.sup.3. In another form of the invention, the core is a corrugated sheet and a flat sheet which is secured to at least one side of the corrugated sheet, the corrugated sheet and said flat sheet being made of a material selected from a uniform Kevlar fiber reinforced plastic having a density of 0.03-1.0 g/cm.sup.3, a uniform ceramic having a density of 0.03-1.0 g/cm.sup.

Abstract: A reflector reflecting light ranging from infrared rays to visible rays is formed by placing on a forming mold a thin glass plate, putting a semi-cured product formed by impregnating a reinforcing fabric material with a resin, compressing and heating a laminated body of the glass plate and the semi-cured product, removing the formed laminated body and forming a reflecting film on the glass plate.
