The method of application of precision photolithographic drawing on a cylindrical surface of optical details and application for contact display picture for its implementation. The invention relates to the field of opto-electronic instrument and is intended for applying photolithographic figure on the working surface of the cylindrical aperture optical-mechanical unit in the scanning device to generate code control signal orientation on Sun SPACECRAFT (SC). Site aperture rotates around the axis of the device, which is focused on the Sun. With the passage of radiation through a transparent graphic aperture on photoreception device code is formed the control signal, which is used for precise orientation of the SPACECRAFT. In opto-electronics industry are widely used optical parts in the form of grids, scales and masks with transparent and opaque picture. On the surface of the optical components is applied to the image by photolithography. This kind of optical parts are used as modulators of the light flux, grid in the image plane, perform other functions. Modern optical photolithography focuses solely on the production of optical components with flat work surface. Modern devices, such as a system basmasovo laser photolithography DWL-66FS (Heidelberg, Germany), in 3D mode, you can implement only a slight relief, but not the surface with a large parameter curvature. High requirements to the optical parts (grids, scales and limbs and other) for resolution, strength, radiation and corrosion resistance and optical characteristics in connection with their use in different climatic conditions - in vacuum, space, etc. contributed to the development of methods of their production, based on application of the method of photolithography. As a metal, forming the image grid, worlds or of the scale most commonly used chrome and silver, thanks to their stable dimensional characteristics at etching that is usually applied to the workpiece by thermal evaporation in vacuum. Standard methods of photolithography figure photomask is transferred to reliefoobrazuyushchey material (usually a photoresist) and is dry or liquid etching substrate to a certain depth. The scale and the grid is produced by drawing on a substrate photosensitive layer, its exposure, applying metallic figure and films of titanium oxide and silicon oxide. (RTM 3-520-74.
