Paper Abstract
The telescope of the University of Tokyo Atacama Observatory has a 6.5-m primary mirror in diameter. In order to fabricate the reflecting film initially and to maintain its performance over a long period, we have mirror coating facility on site. We have chosen to leave the primary mirror in its cell with the mirror support system intact. Two major advantages of leaving the mirror in its cell are that the mirror does not have to be lifted or handled and the support system does not have to be removed or reinstalled for coating. The facility consists of a clean booth for stripping of the old film, an evaporation coating chamber, and a cart with a lifter for handling the primary mirror. A conventional evaporation system with a metal pre-wetted filament array is adopted for achieving various optical requests. The coating equipment has also a function of fabrication for film on secondary and tertiary mirrors.
