The Extreme Ultraviolet Explorer - Optics fabrication and performanceThe fabrication methods, testing and evaluation techniques, and performance results are presented for the mirrors for the Extreme Ultraviolet Explorer (EUVE). The finest mirror produced to date has a measured half energy width of 8 arcsec at optical wavelengths. With a polished nickel surface, the telescope throughput was 35 percent at 44 A and 60 percent at 256 A. The surface roughness is 20 A rms.
