Abstract

First Contact Polymers from Photonic Cleaning Technologies have been used on many world-class telescopes for protection and for cleaning to maintain reflectivity to "as new" condition. W.M. Keck, Space Surveillance Telescope, MCAT Ascension Island, ESO, CFHT, LIGO, and others have all used First Contact to clean mirrors and optics to the molecular level.
