Paper Abstract
We report the restraint deformation and the corrosion protection of gold deposited aluminum mirrors for mid-infrared
instruments. To evaluate the deformation of the aluminum mirrors by thermal shrinkage, monitoring measurement of the
surface of a mirror has been carried out in the cooling cycles from the room temperature to 100 K. The result showed
that the effect of the deformation was reduced to one fourth if the mirror was screwed with spring washers.
We have explored an effective way to prevent the mirror from being galvanically corroded. A number of samples have
been prepared by changing the coating conditions, such as inserting an insulation layer, making a multi-layer and overcoating
water blocking layer, or carrying out precision cleaning before coating. Precision cleaning before the deposition
and protecting coat with SiO over the gold layer seemed to be effective in blocking corrosion of the aluminum. The SiO
over-coated mirror has survived the cooling test for the mid-infrared use and approximately 1 percent decrease in the
reflectance has been detected at 6-25 microns compared to gold deposited mirror without coating.
