  • Process for manufacturing optical elements for telescope optics usable in space missions
    Patent number: 11945017
    Abstract: A process for manufacturing an optical element comprising a first step of spinning a circular sheet of a first metallic material for it to adhere to a rotating matrix and form a shell; a second step of assembling the shell on a temporary support; and at least a third step of diamond turning the shell by means of a diamond tool to obtain an optical surface.
    Type: Grant

  • METHOD FOR APPLYING A CARBON-BASED REFLECTIVE OVERCOATING ON A GRAZING INCIDENCE OPTICAL UNIT
    Publication number: 20220331836
    Abstract: A method for applying a carbon-based reflective overcoating on a grazing incidence optical unit comprising a substrate and a coating of a high-density material chosen from the group comprising gold, platinum, iridium, palladium, rhodium, ruthenium, chrome and nickel or a low-density material such as carbon or B4C; the method comprises the step of treating the optical unit with a solution or gaseous phase containing at least one polymer precursor material to create the overcoating through absorption of the polymer material on the coating.
