Optical components such as mirrors, filters and windows need to be tested and qualified to verify their resistance in space environments. Future space missions, such as ESA JUICE and SOLO, will operate in harsh environments, rich of ions and electrons. Experiments and development of appropriate protocols are needed to develop proper radiation-hard components and to qualify them.
Active control of the geometrical parameters of large ring-lasers arrays is a challenging task, requiring the development of an accurate length monitoring system acting on the edges of these devices. The proposed solution is based on what was outlined by NASA JPL for its discontinued Space Interferometric Mission (SIM). It will be made up of a network of compact laser heterodyne interferometers, working...
