Title PROTYPE DUAL BAND COATINGS. REFLECTIVE X-RAY OPTICS WILL DESIGN AND FABRICATE THREE (3) PROTOTYPE DUAL-BAND MULTILAYER COATINGS ONTO FLAT SUPER-POLISHED SI SUBSTRATES. THE COATINGS WILL BE FABRICATED FROM SIC/AL, SI/MO, OR OTHER COMPARABLE MATERIAL PAIRS, AND WILL BE DESIGNED, IN CONSULTATION WITH DAVID WINDT AT REFLECTIVE X-RAY OPTICS, TO REFLECT TWO DISTINCT EUV WAVELENGTHS NEAR NORMAL INCIDENCE, FOR EXAMPLE 335 AND 195 (OR SIMILAR WAVELENGTH PAIRS). THE EUV PERFORMANCE OF THE THREE PROTOTYPE COATINGS WILL BE MEASURED AT RXO, USING OUR LASER-PLASMA REFLECTOMETER.

Description

Title LOW-STRESS IRIDIUM COATINGS FOR THIN-SHELL X-RAY TELESCOPES WE PROPOSE TO DEVELOP AND COMMERCIALIZE A NEW TYPE OF LOW-STRESS IRIDIUM (IR) X-RAY MIRROR COATING TECHNOLOGY THAT CAN BE USED FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF HIGH-RESOLUTION X-RAY TELESCOPES COMPRISING THIN-SHELL MIRROR SUBSTRATES, SUCH AS THE SOFT X-RAY TELESCOPE (SXT) CURRENTLY BEING DEVELOPED FOR THE CONSTELLATION-X MISSION. THE URGENT NEED FOR LOW-STRESS IR COATING TECHNOLOGY IS DRIVEN BY THE CURRENT LIMITATIONS ON TELESCOPE ANGULAR RESOLUTION RESULTING FROM SUBSTRATE DISTORTIONS CAUSED BY CONVENTIONAL REFLECTIVE IR COATINGS THAT HAVE HIGH STRESS. IN PARTICULAR, WE HAVE MEASURED FILM STRESSES IN EXCESS OF 3 GPA IN THE CASE OF 30 NM IR FILMS DEPOSITED BY CONVENTIONAL MAGNETRON SPUTTERING TECHNIQUES. THE DISTORTIONS IN THIN GLASS MIRROR SHELLS (SUCH AS THOSE SUITABLE FOR THE CONSTELLATION-X SXT) RESULTING FROM THESE EXTREMELY LARGE COATING STRESSES PRESENTLY MAKE THE LARGEST CONTRIBUTION TO THE SXT TELESCOPE IMAGING ERROR BUDGET, OF ORDER 10 ARCSEC OR MORE. CONSEQUENTLY, IT WILL BE DIFFICULT, IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE, TO MEET THE IMAGING REQUIREMENTS OF CONSTELLATION-X, OR OTHER FUTURE HIGH-RESOLUTION X-RAY MISSIONS, UNLESS HIGH-QUALITY IR COATINGS HAVING SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER STRESSES CAN BE DEVELOPED. THE DEVELOPMENT OF SUCH COATINGS IS PRECISELY THE AIM OF OUR PROPOSAL.

Description

Title WE PROPOSE TO DEVELOP AND COMMERCIALIZE A NEW TYPE OF LOW-STRESS IRIDIUM (IR) X-RAY MIRROR COATING TECHNOLOGY THAT CAN BE USED FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF HIGH-RESOLUTION X-RAY TELESCOPES COMPRISING THIN-SHELL MIRROR SUBSTRATES, SUCH AS THE FLIGHT MIRROR ARRAY (FMA) CURRENTLY BEING DEVELOPED FOR THE IXO MISSION. THE URGENT NEED FOR LOW-STRESS IR COATING TECHNOLOGY IS DRIVEN BY THE CURRENT LIMITATIONS ON TELESCOPE ANGULAR RESOLUTION RESULTING FROM SUBSTRATE DISTORTIONS CAUSED BY CONVENTIONAL REFLECTIVE IR COATINGS THAT TYPICALLY HAVE VERY HIGH STRESS. IN PARTICULAR, WE HAVE MEASURED FILM STRESSES IN EXCESS OF 4 GPA IN THE CASE OF IR FILMS DEPOSITED BY CONVENTIONAL MAGNETRON SPUTTERING. IT IS THOUGHT THAT THE DISTORTIONS IN THE THIN GLASS MIRROR SHELLS (SUCH AS THOSE PROPOSED FOR THE IXO FMA) RESULTING FROM SUCH EXTREMELY LARGE COATING STRESSES PRESENTLY MAKE THE LARGEST CONTRIBUTION TO THE TELESCOPE IMAGING ERROR BUDGET, OF ORDER 10 ARCSEC OR MORE. CONSEQUENTLY, IT WILL BE DIFFICULT, IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE, TO MEET THE IMAGING REQUIREMENTS OF IXO, OR OTHER HIGH-RESOLUTION X-RAY MISSIONS IN THE FUTURE THAT USE THIN-SHELL MIRROR TECHNOLOGY, UNLESS HIGH-QUALITY IR COATINGS HAVING SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER STRESSES CAN BE DEVELOPED. THE DEVELOPMENT OF SUCH COATINGS IS PRECISELY THE AIM OF OUR PROPOSAL. SPECIFICALLY, BUILDING ON OUR SUCCESSFUL PHASE I EFFORT, WE PROPOSE TO COMPLETE THE DEVELOPMENT OF LOW-STRESS IR/CR BILAYERS, AND ALSO INVESTIGATE THE USE OF IR/TI BILAYERS. WE ALSO PROPOSE TO INVESTIGATE THE PROPERTIES SINGLE-LAYER IR FILMS, AS WELL AS IR/CR AND IR/TI BILAYERS, PREPARED BY REACTIVE SPUTTERING WITH NITROGEN. FINALLY, WE PLAN TO TRANSFER THE LOW-STRESS IR COATING TECHNOLOGY TO OUR LARGE, PRODUCTION-CLASS SPUTTERING SYSTEM SO THAT WE CAN COAT GSFC-SUPPLIED THIN-SHELL MIRROR SUBSTRATES AND CONCLUSIVELY DEMONSTRATE REDUCED STRESS-DRIVEN SUBSTRATE DISTORTIONS.
