6E Technology

6E001 “Technology” according to the General Technology Note for the “development” of equipment, materials or “software” specified by 6A, 6B, 6C or 6D.

6E002 “Technology” according to the General Technology Note for the “production” of equipment, materials or software specified by 6A, 6B, 6C, 6D201 or 6D202.

6E003 Other “technology” as follows:

d. “Technology” as follows:

1. “Technology” “required” for the coating and treatment of optical surfaces to achieve an ‘optical thickness’ uniformity of 99.5% or better for optical coatings 500 mm or more in diameter or major axis length and with a total loss (absorption and scatter) of less than 5 x 10‑3;

N.B.: See also 2E003.f.

‘Optical thickness’ is the mathematical product of the index of refraction and the physical thickness of the coating.

2. “Technology” for the fabrication of optics using single point diamond turning techniques to produce surface finish “accuracies” of better than 10 nm rms on non‑planar surfaces exceeding 0.5 m2;

e. “Technology” “required” for the “development”, “production” or “use” of specially designed diagnostic instruments or targets in test facilities for “SHPL” testing or testing or evaluation of materials irradiated by “SHPL” beams.

6E101 “Technology” according to the General Technology Note for the “use” of equipment or “software” specified by 6A102, 6A107, 6A108, 6B108, 6D102 or 6D103.

Note: 6E101 only specifies “technology” for equipment specified by 6A008 when it is designed for airborne applications and is usable in “missiles”.

6E201 “Technology” according to the General Technology Note for the “use” of equipment or “software” specified by 6A202, 6A203, 6A205, 6A225, 6A226, 6D201 or 6D202.
