Abstract
A mirror includes an ultralight substrate. A reflective layer is disposed on the ultralight substrate. A bonding layer may be disposed between the reflective layer and the substrate.
Claims41
A mirror, comprising:
- an ultralight substrate having a first surface, wherein the ultralight substrate has a density less than about 300 kg/m3;
- a reflective layer on the substrate;
- and
- a bonding layer disposed between the reflective layer and the first surface of the substrate.
1 more element
A method of fabricating an aerogel mirror, comprising:
- forming a reflective layer on a first surface of a substrate;
- coupling a second surface of an ultralight component on the reflective layer formed on the substrate, wherein the ultralight component has a density less than about 300 kg/m3;
- and
- decoupling the ultralight component from the substrate after the coupling, wherein after the decoupling at least a portion of the reflective layer of the first surface is transferred to the second surface of the ultralight component.
1 more element
A mirror, comprising:
- a substrate including an ultralight material, wherein the ultralight material has a density less than about 300 kg/m3;
- and
- a layer of reflective material on the substrate.
A MEMs device, comprising:
- at least one MEMs actuator;
- and
- a mirror actuatable by the MEMs actuator, wherein the mirror includes an ultralight material, wherein the ultralight material has a density less than about 300 kg/m3.
A method for making an ultralight mirror, the method comprising:
