HWO FUV Aluminum (Lithium Fluoride)

HWO FUV Aluminum (Lithium Fluoride)

ZeCoat Corporation has been selected for a NASA D.19 Industrial Partnership program to develop far‑ultraviolet (FUV) broadband reflective coatings for the Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO). More specifically, a far-ultraviolet aluminum coating protected with a lithium fluoride overcoat. This is an ongoing project, with the goal of achieving reflectance levels of >85% at 122 nm and >50% at 100 nm.

  • Status: Project currently in development
  • Reflectance Goal: >85% at 122 nm and >50% at 100 nm
  • Durability: Passes MIL-13830-B
