Applications of Ultra-Precision Free-Form Machining Technology to Advanced Optics

Article Preview

Abstract:

Nowadays, the proliferation of commercial applications of consumer electronics and advanced optics has imposed extensive requirements on the fabrication of non-conventional geometries and free-form surfaces with stringent achievable tolerances and extremely high accuracy and surface roughness. This paper exhibits our successful applications of ultra-precision free-form machining technology to the production of a variety of advanced imaging and illumination optics.
