Abstract
A research project intended to design and fabricate a dimensionally stable 2 mu spherical mirror 0.4 m in diameter, carried out by Composite Optics, Incorporated, is briefly reported. A laminate for the facesheet and the back surface that is intended to be exceptionally uniform in-plane has been designed using the P75/ERL 1999 material. The core is designed to be pseudoisotropic in all three directions.
