MIRIM optics

As part of the MIRI instrument to be integrated in the focal plane of the James Webb space telescope, AMOS has been responsible for manufacturing the MIRI imager mirrors for CSL and the CEA. The MIRI imager comprises 5 mirrors and among them , 3 are associated in a TMA configuration.
Those mirrors for the mid-infrared range were manufactured in aluminium alloy by single-point diamond turning.
