Corning: Supplier of Multiple Optical Materials for Telescope Projects

摘要

Corning manufactures several optical materials that can be used as reflective and transmissive optics for telescope optical systems. Corning can manufacture these materials in a large range of sizes and configurations. This paper discusses Coming's portfolio of optical materials and their properties, along with Coming's manufacturing capabilities using these materials. Specific examples of optical blanks that Coming has supplied will be discussed.
