Reflective Coatings for Large Telescope Mirrors

Dynavac’s deposition systems deposit highly reflective metal films onto large astronomical telescope mirrors with exacting precision. Using proven designs and deposition methods, our systems provide a highly reliable method for depositing aluminum, protected aluminum, or protected silver. We also offer a wide range of support services including conceptual design studies, process development, and onsite support during deposition.

Dynavac’s astronomical coating applications leverage advanced thin film deposition systems to deposit uniform, highly reflective metal films on large telescope mirrors. Our solutions include optical coating systems for precision reflective coatings, batch PVD systems for controlled multi-layer processing, and inline deposition systems for scalable, high-throughput mirror production. These platforms provide exceptional uniformity and reproducibility, ensuring optimal performance for scientific and observational instruments.
