Evaluation of Surface Roughness of Quartz Glass Substrate in Fabrication Process for Neutron Focusing Mirror

Article Preview

Abstract:

The aspherical supermirror is among the most useful optics for focusing a neutron beam with a wide wavelength range. The improvement in surface roughness is essential for increasing the focusing gain. A highly efficient and high-precision fabrication process for the substrate of the aspherical mirror combining conventional precision grinding, numerically controlled local wet etching (NC-LWE) figuring, and low-pressure polishing was developed. Using this new fabrication process, plano-elliptical neutron-focusing mirror substrates were successfully fabricated with a figure error of submicrometer order and an rms surface roughness of less than 0.3 nm. In this report, the surface roughness of a quartz glass substrate for a neutron focusing supermirror was evaluated.
