Abstract
Abstract A mirror assembly for ring laser angular rate sensors which is inexpensive to manufacture comprises a mirror chip (200M) from silicon material with at least one mirror material (212, 214) being deposited on a polished surface (202) of said chip. A further polished surface (204) serves to bond the mirror chip on a further substrate.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
62 words
A mirror assembly, characterized by: a first substrate (15) having a first polished surface (17); a second substrate (200) having a first polished surface (204) sufficient to bond together said first surface of said first and second substrates by an optical contact seal; and a mirror material (212, 214) on a second surface (202) of said second substrate to form a mirror.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
62 words
A mirror assembly, characterized by: a first substrate (15) having a first polished surface (17); a second substrate (200) having a first polished surface (204) sufficient to bond together said first surface of said first and second substrates by an optical contact seal; and a mirror material (212, 214) on a second surface (202) of said second substrate to form a mirror.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
15 words
Assembly according to claim 1, characterized in that said second substrate is comprised of silicon.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
33 words
Assembly according to claim 1, characterized in that said second substrate (200) is comprised of silicon and said mirror material (212, 214) is comprised of alternating layers of silicon dioxide and titanium dioxide.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
29 words
Assembly according to claim 1, characterized by a plurality of alternating layers of at least two dielectric materials deposited on said second surface to form a highly reflective mirror.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
21 words
Assembly according to claim 1, characterized in that said first and second substrates (15, 200) are comprised of a translucent material.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
46 words
Assembly according to one of claims 1 to 5, characterized by its use in a ring laser angular rate sensor with said first substrate (15) having portions of its polished surface (17) fixed to portions of a mechanically and thermally stable block (10) of said sensor.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
33 words
A mirror chip, characterized by : a silicon substrate (200) having a polished surface (202); and at least one mirror material (212, 214) deposited on said polished surface (202) to form a mirror.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
33 words
A mirror chip, characterized by : a silicon substrate (200) having a polished surface (202); and at least one mirror material (212, 214) deposited on said polished surface (202) to form a mirror.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
33 words
Mirror chip according to claim 7, further characterized by a plurality of alternating layers of at least two dielectric materials (212, 214) deposited on said polished surface to form a highly reflective mirror.
