Backsurface Treatment of Optical Substrates for Improved Thermal Conductivity and Dynamic Survival

This invention is an adhesive that is applied to the back of optical substrate mirrors such as the ones used in aerospace applications. The adhesive when applied, it provides acoustic dampening and uniform dissipation of heat, thus protecting the optical component from stress and heating. This is particularly innovative for aerospace applications where...
