Long Duration Exposure Facility Space Optics Handbook

Abstract

This handbook provides a user a space optics design guide to materials based on the Long Duration Exposure Facility (LDEF) Space Optics Experiments. The materials covered are refractive optics, coatings, filters, mirrors, second surface mirrors, quartz microbalances, and fiber optics. The guide presents the data and the experience learned from the LDEF Space Optics Experiments in one volume in a user-friendly fashion. The data reported in the handbook are a compilation of the data published by the individual experimenters. Natural space environment data with an emphasis on the microparticle environment are also presented. LDEF, Natural space environments, Optical materials, Optical systems
