Abstract
Superlightweight mirrors are useful in laser fusion, astronomical telescopes, space communication, and solar power plants. The mirror weight must be considerably lighter than conventional massive mirrors with the same dimensions. A honeycomb mirror is well-known as a superlightweight mirror, but it has the disadvantage of complex fabrication.
