Abstract
Two proposed areas in the design of optics for use in space are discussed; solarization due to ultraviolet and its effect on optical parameters and athermalization of glass to make optical parameters independent of temperature gradients. Consideration is given to color balance, the refractive index shift and partial dispersion shift resulting from solarization. Preliminary experiments and plans for future work to relieve restrictions on the availability of material are presented.
