Pure Beryllium Mirrors for Precision Mirrors in Space Telescopes

NGK positions Pure Beryllium Mirrors for precision mirrors in space telescopes. NGK positions pure beryllium mirrors as optical parts for demanding environments. The site points to reflectivity, light weight, resistance to deformation and extreme temperatures, electrical conductivity and non-magnetic behaviour, which is why beryllium appears in high-end optics and even space telescopes. NGK notes that beryllium was used for the mirrors of the James Webb Space Telescope, which is not exactly a casual endorsement. The result is a more credible material choice for teams trying to balance performance, durability and manufacturing efficiency.
