A mirror for wide angle scanning applications comprises: a silicon substrate comprising a flat, polished surface side and an etched, rough surface side; and a plurality of layers, including a layer of reflective medium, disposed on the flat, polished surface of the substrate section in such a manner to minimize flexural distortion of the flat surface. The mirror is made by a method comprising the steps of: preparing the silicon wafer by polishing one side to a predetermined flatness and etching the other side to a predetermined roughness; cutting the substrate section from the prepared silicon wafer to a predetermined shape and macroscopic size; and applying a plurality of layers on the flat, polished surface. |
