[Fwd: ATM chemical/physical properties of different mirror materials]

[jroweapp@swbell.net]

Dear Dominic-Luc;

I think the real trick would be, to be able to mold Ti. to 1/4 wave
tolerances. I doubt that is easily doable; I further imagine coming up
with a mirror cell that did not inpart massive print through would be an
equal challenge. My two pennies, I enjoy your posts. Much success, I
hope you prove my thoughts on the subject wrong and that you are able to
make these jewels for less than $100. per unit. I'll be first in line!!!

Cheers

Jeffrey Rowe
