» Thermal Forming of Glass Foils for X-ray Space Telescopes
Presenter: Martina Landova
The thermally formed thin glass foil is considered to belong to most promising technologies for future large space X-ray telescopes. Promising results have been achieved, with peak to valley deviations of final profiles from the ideal ones being of order of 1 micron in best cases. We determine the physical properties that elucidate the formation process and that is crucial to improve surface quality. We discuss the sources of figure errors and we measure relations between time of forming and surface characteristics.
