The high-resolution lightweight telescope for the EUV (HiLiTE)

Abstract: The High-resolution Lightweight Telescope for the EUV (HiLiTE) is a Cassegrain telescope that will be made entirely of Silicon Carbide (SiC), optical substrates and metering structure alike. Using multilayer coatings, this instrument will be tuned to operate at the 465 Å Ne VII emission line, formed in solar transition region plasma at ~500,000 K. HiLiTE will have an aperture of 30 cm, angular resolution of ~0.2 arc seconds and operate at a cadence of ~5 seconds or less, having a mass that is about ¼ that of o… Show more

“…It was determined in Ref. 11 that the regions with "cellular" appearance are Mg corrosion products, a mixture of Mg(OH) 2 , Mg(CO) 3 and MgO. Formation of these Mg corrosion products is accompanied by volume expansion and leads to the eruptive effects seen in Fig.…”

“…Above the 115 nm wavelength range, multilayer films with high reflectivity have been fabricated using MgF 2 and Al, or MgF 2 in combination with other fluorides (such as BaF 2 , LaF 3 , and LiF) [6][7][8]. Below the 50 nm range, high-reflectivity multilayer films such as Sc/Si [9][10][11] or Mg/SiC [12,13] have been developed. However, within the 54-90 nm range, due to strong absorption by materials, the fabrication of highly efficient mirrors is challenging.…”

“…At wavelengths slightly longer than 115 nm, narrowband multilayers have been prepared based on MgF 2 with a second material that was selected among either Al or some fluorides [1][2][3]. Just below 50 nm, efficient multilayers based on Sc/Si [4][5][6], and Mg/SiC [7,8] have been developed; they provide useful bands centered in the ~30-50 nm range. However, the ~50-115-nm spectral range has been lacking such coatings because the overwhelming majority of materials is burdened with a strong absorption; this turns inefficient the accumulation of layers in a multilayer…”
