Abstract

At Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), the ultraviolet (UV) calibration lab successfully tested First Contact Polymer (FCP) cleaning solution on unprotected gold mirrors in the UV region. This investigation proved that the cleaning solution meets the contamination threshold of < 100 ng/cm² and passes the relative reflectance differences threshold of <10% difference. Future internal research funding would include UV testing with other optics (mirrors/lenses with different coatings and substrates, diffraction gratings, and freeform optics) to establish its effectiveness over a variety of optical elements.
