ABSTRACT:
A novel cooled mirror for use with high energy lasers includes an optical coating for reflection a laser signal. A heat exchanger having internal passages with flowing coolant is adjacent to the optical coating and removes the heat therefrom. The heat exchanger is affixed to a substrate having supply and return ports for the coolant. The substrate is constructed of porous material so a fraction of the supply coolant bleeds through the substrate to the return coolant. The transpiration flow produces thermal isolation and maximizes the utilization of available coolant heat capacity.
