High reflectivity large scale telescope mirror coatings via long throw sputtering

Here we present reflectivity measurements of long-throw sputtered aluminum coatings at normal and oblique incidence angles on glass test chips. Experimental results indicate that water vapor partial pressure, not incident angle, is the dominant factor for front surface reflectivity of sputtered aluminum.

Eos Astronomical Mirror Deposition System Successfully Installed in Spain

Dynavac, the trusted leader in Astronomical Mirror Deposition Systems, is pleased to announce that it has successfully commissioned its flagship Eos System at the Observatorio Astrofisico de Javalambra (OAJ) in Teruel, Spain.

Dynavac Develops Multi-Layer Silver Coating for Astronomical Telescope Mirror at KAFB Facility

Dynavac has successfully developed and deposited a multi-layer silver coating onto a 3.5-meter astronomical mirror at the Air Force Research Lab’s Starfire Optical Range at Kirtland Air Force Base, New Mexico. This significant milestone is expected to establish a new industry standard in producing silver coatings for large-area mirror applications.

Dynavac Delivers Large Optical Coating System to U of Rochester/LLE

Dynavac recently delivered a 74” Hyperion Optical Coating System to the University of Rochester’s Laboratory for Laser Energetics (LLE), a national resource for high energy physics.

Dynavac's Optical Coating System Helps Capture "First Light" From Discovery Channel Telescope

Dynavac, a market leader in precision optical coating systems, engineered and manufactured the optical coating system for the Lowell Observatory’s newly commissioned flagship telescope: the Discovery Channel Telescope (DCT), the fifth largest optical telescope in the continental United States.
