Scientific paper

We report progress in composite mirror technology made since the previous Backaskog ELT workshop. Significant achievements include the fabrication of extremely lightweight mirrors with areal density as low as 1 kg/m2, diffraction limited optical performance at visible wavelengths, meter class mirrors, a portable telescope with 0.5 m mirror, large thin deformable mirrors for adaptive optics, 1m x 2m mirrors, and a six meter telescope platform.
