  The de­sign of op­ti­cal el­e­ments com­pass dif­fer­ent de­vel­op­ment areas, such as op­tics, struc­tures and dy­nam­ics, ther­mal, and con­trol. In par­tic­u­lar, the ther­mal de­signs of mir­rors aim to min­i­mize de­for­ma­tions, whose usual re­quire­ments are around 5 nm RMS and slope er­rors in the order of 150 nrad RMS. One of the main sources of un­cer­tain­ties in ther­mal de­signs is the in­con­sis­tency in val­ues of ther­mal con­tact re­sis­tances (TCR) found in the lit­er­a­ture. A de­vice based on the ASTM D5470 stan­dard was pro­posed and de­signed to mea­sure the TCR among ma­te­ri­als com­monly used in mir­ror sys­tems. Pre­ci­sion en­gi­neer­ing de­sign tools were used to deal with the chal­lenges re­lated to the op­er­a­tion at cryo­genic tem­per­a­tures (145 K) and under sev­eral pres­sures rates (1~10 MPa) whilst en­sur­ing the align­ment be­tween the spec­i­mens. We ob­served using in­dium as Ther­mal In­ter­face Ma­te­r­ial re­duced the TCR in 10~42,2% for SS316/Cu con­tacts, and 31~81% for Al/Cu. Upon an­a­lyz­ing the mea­sure­ments, we iden­ti­fied some areas for im­prove­ments in the equip­ment, such as mit­i­gat­ing ra­di­a­tion and im­prov­ing the heat flow in the cold part of the sys­tem that were im­ple­mented for the up­graded ver­sion.
