Optical mirror for reflection of radiation, has mirror substrate with multiple mirror elements, which represent sections of total-mirror surface separated by gaps

摘要

The optical mirror (13) has a mirror substrate (20) with multiple mirror elements (19), which represent sections of a total-mirror surface separated by gaps (59). The mirror elements are adjacent and connected with each other by the solid body hinges (35,37), where a reflection surface (25) is also provided. The adjacent mirror elements and the solid body hinges are manufactured from mirror substrate. An independent claim is included for a method for manufacturing a mirror.
