  • Angular Deviation: Less than 5 (five) minutes of arc

Surface 1 (S1) Specifications:

• • Surface Quality: Scratch/Dig: 3/1 (0.2)
  • Flatness: Wavelength of Light (L)/10 regularity (within 1/10 of the wavelength of light)
  • Surface Roughness: 5/4 x 0.063; L3 x 0.004
  • Anti-Reflection Coating:
    • Angle of Incidence: 45 degrees (°)
    • Wavelength Range: 1120-1150 nanometer (nm)
    • Reflectance: < 0.6%

Surface 2 (S2) Specifications:

• • Surface Quality: Scratch/Dig: 3/1 (0.2)
  • Flatness: L/10 regularity (within 1/10 of the wavelength of light)
  • Surface Roughness: 5/4 x 0.063; L3 x 0.004
  • High Reflectivity Coating:
    • Angle of Incidence: 45°
    • Wavelength: 1070 nm
    • Reflectance: > 99.5%
  • Reflectance (Ru):
    • Angle of Incidence: 45°
    • Wavelength: 1120 nm
    • Reflectance: < 5%

       2.    Twelve 45-degree Turning Mirrors for use in kW-class laser:

• Mirror shall be  plane, with a commercial polish on one side and a high-reflectivity coating on the other.

• Mirror shall be capable of reflecting the laser at wavelengths between 1030 and 1064 nm with an efficiency greater than 99.95%.

• The Following are the Government’s Minimum requirements: Material: Fused silica
• Type: Plane mirror
