1. Most Earth orbiting satellites rely on photovoltaic solar cells for their power requirements The cells are sensitive to radiation damage and their efficiency re duces as their temperature increases The function of solar cell cover glasses is to physically protect the cells from ionizing radiation while transmitting the maxi mum amount of useful light to the solar cell protecting the adhesives used from UV damage and radiating as much heat as possible from the solar array QST has developed a range of special ised glass compositions and advanced vacuum coatings which enable the per formance to be optimized for a range of photovoltaic cell technologies and mis sion requirements QST also produces high performance thermal control mirrors Optical Solar Re flectors OSRs which use similar technol ogy to radiate excess heat trom the body of the satellite into space with minimal absorption of energy from the sun Cover glasses and OSRs are typically 0 075 0 1 or 0 15mm thick depending on mission requirements and may be al most any shape usually between 10 and 100 cm2 each In order to manufacture these bespoke glass compositions in the thicknesses required a special type of glass melter is necessary QST s glass melter was de veloped by Pilkington now part of NSG Following the closure of Pilkington Spe cial Glass Ltd factory in 2007 the melter was acquired by QST and successfully Special edition Phot

3. OPRPTIA Photonics for Innovation Shear Plate Interferometers are based on the principle of superimposing a wave front on itself The light beam be ing tested is split into two waves which are shifted laterally to one another pro ducing the shear The division and shift ing of the wave fronts is a result of the reflectivity on the two surfaces of an ex tremely flat plate called the shear plate The two partial waves interfere in the overlap area Fig 2 The original wave front can be derived trom the resulting interferogram Wedge shaped shear plates are used to check the collimation of a laser light beam In the case of an ideally collimat ed light beam a smooth wave front is incident on the wedge plate and parallel interference fringes perpendicular to the wedge are formed This is indicated by a reference band on the observation plane Fig 3 With this technique for example expansion systems can be adjusted for reproducible collimation 1 If the expansion system Is not aligned properly it shows either a positive or negative focusing effect the interfer ence fringes tilt clockwise negative or counter clockwise positive This effect can be evaluated quantitatively Using the tilt angle of the interference fringes the radius of curvature of the incident wave front R can be derived with the following equation ral K A sin d The interference fringes are easy to evalu ate visually on
