| Research Abstract |
I developed the multi-layer high-reflectivity polarizing mirror for the magnetic field measurement of the solar atmosphere in Lyman-alpha line (121.6 nm). This mirror consists of MgF2 and SiO2 layers on a Fused Silica substrate. I fabricated the test pieces of this type mirror, and measured their performance at the Synchrotron facility. The measured reflectivities for s- and p- polarized lights in Lyman-alpha line are Rs = 54.8% and Rp = 0.29%, respectively. Hence, the polarizing power P = (Rs-Rp)/(Rs+Rp) is 0.99. This means that this mirror reflect almost only s-polarized light. The Rs of this mirror is about 2.5 times larger than the MgF2 plate that is commonly used and whose Rs is 22%. On the basis of these results, it is concluded that the high-reflectivity polarizing mirror has been successfully developed.
