Title:<br />

Radiation stable optical adhesives<br />

High-tec., high performance optical adhesive and gluing process for optical assemblies exposed to high intensity radiation<br />

(visible, IR, UV, X-ray, gamma-ray,...). Typical applications are transparent silicone adhesives in solar cell assemblies (SCA)<br />

to bond cover glasses onto solar cells. Recent developments in shifting the spectral cut-off of cover glasses to shorter<br />

wavelength (e.g. CMO) to gain power output of the SCAs, does accelerate the degradation of the adhesive. Moreover there is<br />

a trend to re<strong>du</strong>ce the thickness of the cover-glass thus increasing penetration of radiation into the adhesive. Currently, only<br />

one US manufactured adhesive is exhibiting adequate long term stability. The applications are not limited to SCAs, and cover<br />

any payload that require gluing of optical components that are exposed to high intensity irradiation.<br />

Deliverables:<br />

Technical notes, Test plan, sample manufacturing, test report, test samples tested in relevant environment.<br />
