摘要：
This article focuses on mirror coating for the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope, which is being installed in Chile. The LSST coating system consists of a coating chamber for the deposition of highly reflective optical coatings and a cleaning and stripping station for the M1M3 and M2 mirrors. With the help of the sputtering process, bare and protected silver/aluminum coating recipes can be deposited. The cleaning and stripping station consists of a rotating washing/drying boom, perimeter platforms, and an effluent handling system within the M1M3 mirror cell. The article describes the status of the assembly work on the coating system. Furthermore, it provides information about the progress of factory testing, a about the basic design features and reflective/coating requirements and the coating results.
