Abstract
The throughput of a grazing incidence optical system is highly dependent on the reflectivities of the coatings used. To support ongoing work at HDOS for the Advanced X-ray Astrophysics Facility, AXAF, we have begun to look at materials and processes which maximize reflectivity in the 1-10 keV range. These processes must be scaleable and compatible with the coating of the AXAF elements. These elements are concentric paraboloids and hyperboloids ranging in diameter from 18 to 40 inches with an axial length of 40 inches. The coatings are applied to the interior optical surfaces.
