  • VISIBLE QUALITY ADDITIVE MANUFACTURED ALUMINUM MIRROR FINISHING
    Publication number: 20230280508
    Abstract: A mirrored apparatus includes a substrate having a surface and including an additive manufactured aluminum and about 2 to about 30 weight % (wt. %) silicon. The mirrored apparatus also includes a finish layer arranged directly on the surface of the substrate. The finish layer includes a polished surface opposite the substrate. The mirrored apparatus further includes a reflective layer arranged on the polished surface of the finish layer.

  • Coating for forming a high definition aperture
    Publication number: 20050024745
    Abstract: An optical thin film stack for a dark aperture is deposited using thermal ion-assisted deposition (“IAD”). The IAD provides an energetic deposition of chromium and chromium oxide that results in a dark mirror optical thin film stack with superior etch properties. Edge definition is improved, and the edge profile is controllable by the selection of IAD parameters. An in situ IAD cleaning process can be used to clean the substrate sufficiently so that an intermediate adhesion layer of chromium is not required.
