Off-Axis Parabolic Mirrors

The United States Air Force is conducting market research to identify capable sources for the design, fabrication, coating, testing, and delivery of custom off‑axis parabolic (OAP) mirrors for its Extreme Light Laboratory. The requirement calls for 66 precision mirrors with fused‑silica substrates, 30 mm diameter, 45° off‑axis focus, surface roughness < 1 nm RMS, scratch/dig 20‑10, and a protected‑gold coating achieving ≥ 97 % reflectivity at 780 ± 40 nm. The contractor must provide all materials, consumables, quality‑assurance documentation, and ship the finished mirrors to Wright‑Patterson AFB, Ohio, with delivery within 98 calendar days after order receipt and a two‑year warranty. • 66 custom OAP mirrors (30 mm fused‑silica, 45° focus) with < 1 nm RMS surface finish. • Protected‑gold coating meeting ≥ 97 % reflectivity at 780 nm ± 40 nm, measured at 45° AOI. • Full QA/QC, test data, packaging, and shipment to WPAFB, Ohio; delivery within 98 days ARO; 2‑year warranty.
