mirrors in vacuum ultraviolet region were developed by three step thermal boat evaporation method
and a method to improve the reflectivity of mirrors by fabrication technology was explored. There are three steps to fabricate the two layers Al/MgF
2
mirrors. In the first step
an aluminum coating with a thickness about 70 nm was evaporated on a quartz substrate at the room temperature. And then
the MgF
2
coating with a thickness about 10 nm was quickly evaporated on an aluminum coating. In the third step
the substrate was heated to certain temperature
and the MgF
2
coating with a thickness of 15-20 nm was evaporated on the surface of the Al and MgF
2
coatings. According to changes of the substrate temperatures at the room temperature
100
200 and 300 ℃
the effects of the substrate temperatures on the mirror reflectivity were researched. The results measured by a vacuum ultraviolet reflector show that improving the substrate temperature after evaporating MgF
2
is in favour of increasing the reflectivity of Al/MgF
2
mirror and the thickness of the Al/MgF
2
is related to the reflectivity of the mirror. When the thickness of MgF
2
is 26.7 nm
the reflectivity at 122 nm is about 85%. The reflectivity of the mirrors stored in the laboratory is barely changed after one month and five months. The results provide technological function for higher performance optical elements in vacuum ultraviolet optical systems.
