Abstract:
We report on progress in the development of the technology of nanonengineered liquid mirrors that use metal-coated viscous liquids. In a recent article, we found that viscous liquid mirrors tilted by 1° were marred by speckles that degraded their surfaces. We have now identified printtrough as the source of the speckles and offer solutions to the problem.
