Reflective member and glass layered member production method
One aspect is a reflective member, which has a laminated structure in which transparent quartz glass members are formed on an upper surface and a lower surface of an opaque siliceous sintered powder layer. The opaque siliceous sintered powder layer has a thickness of 0.1 mm or more and a thickness distribution of ±0.05 mm or less. When a load is applied to each of the transparent quartz glass members on an upper surface and a lower surface of the laminated structure in a direction parallel to the laminated structure, the reflective member is fractured at a load of 5 N or more per square centimeter. The laminated structure includes a semi-transparent portion having a width of 0.01 mm or less, which has an intermediate opacity between an opacity of the opaque siliceous sintered powder layer and an opacity of each of the transparent quartz glass members.
1. A reflective member comprising:
a laminated structure in which transparent quartz glass members are formed on an upper surface and a lower surface of an opaque siliceous sintered powder layer,
wherein the opaque siliceous sintered powder layer has a thickness of 0.1 mm or more and a thickness distribution of ±0.05 mm or less,
wherein, when a load is applied to each of the transparent quartz glass members on an upper surface and a lower surface of the laminated structure in a direction parallel to the laminated structure, the reflective member is fractured at a load of 5 N or more per square centimeter, and
wherein the laminated structure includes, in a boundary between the opaque siliceous sintered powder layer and each of the transparent quartz glass members of the laminated structure, a semi-transparent portion having a width of 0.01 mm or less, which has an intermediate opacity between an opacity of the opaque siliceous sintered powder layer and an opacity of each of the transparent quartz glass members.
