Space Environmental Exposure of Optical Coatings for Spacecraft Solar Rejection

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Dielectric coatings for solar rejection were exposed to a simulated space environment of UV and low energy electrons. Samples were found to exhibit varying degrees of exposure induced absorption extending from the UV to the infrared. Processing variations were correlated to damage susceptibility, and methods were identified which produced parts that exhibited no degradation even though the same materials and coating design were used.
