Abstract

L-3 Communications Integrated Optical Systems-SSG (L-3 SSG) has been developing SiC optical systems for airborne and space-based applications for a number of years. Over this time significant advances have been made with respect to improvements in SiC manufacturing, reducing the mass of SiC optics, extending manufacturing limits to greater than one meter, and providing higher quality optical surfaces which are suitable for x-ray, visible, or high energy laser applications . In this paper we provide data which illustrates the maturation of this technology.
