Scientific paper

The first two mirrors for the Advanced X-Ray Astrophysics Facility have been successfully fabricated and tested. The methodology developed has demonstrated figure convergence rates previously unseen on large area, precision optics. These results were based on developing a unified systems approach to fabrication and testing aided by the extensive use of analytical models. This paper presents a summary of the optic requirements, an overview of the fabrication process, the metrology used, and a summary of the results.
