Abstract

Space mirrors are fabricated using continuous fiber reinforced plastic, CFRP, composite materials, which is the development trend of lightweight space optical system. Systemic basic research of CFRP composite mirrors in foreign scientific research institutions is fully expounded, especially in CMA and UCL. Then engineering application of high precision composite mirrors are illustrated. PLANCK, RICH, NPOI and ULTRA projects are their typical representatives. Newest study situation of carbon fiber composite mirrors is introduced, including fabricating optical mirrors from carbon nanotube (CNT) epoxy, and non contact modification of mirror surface.
