Abstract
A cooled mirror for high power optical systems is fabricated by chemical vapor deposition of material on coolant tube forms.
Claims4
A method of forming a cooled laser mirror comprising the steps of:
- (a) positioning a plurality of disposable cores for coolant passages at predetermined positions in a coolant passage array;
- (b) depositing material from a chemical vapor on said plurality of disposable cores in sufficient volume to band together said plurality of disposable cores in a mirror faceplate;
- (c) removing said disposable cores, whereby coolant passages remain in said mirror faceplate;
- (d) attaching coolant inlet and outlet means to said coolant passages;
- and
- (e) polishing one side of said mirror faceplate.
