    metrology
    Metrology is the science and practice of measurement. It encompasses the theoretical and practical aspects of measurement, including the development of measurement standards, techniques, and instruments, as well as the application of measurement principles in various fields. The primary objectives of metrology are to ensure accuracy, reliability, and consistency in measurements and to establish traceability to recognized standards. Metrology plays a crucial role in science, industry,...
    optical materials
    Materials that, by virtue of their optical characteristics (i.e. refractive index, dispersion, etc.), are used in optical elements. See crystal; glass; plastic lens.
    injection molding
    A method of producing high-quality plastic optics in large volumes by injecting the heated, liquified plastic at high pressure into a tooled mold with polished chromium stainless steel inserts to define the optical surface. The plastic solidifies as it cools, and the mold is removed.
    grinding
    The process in the manufacture of an optical system that gives it the required geometric shape.
    polishing
    The optical process, following grinding, that puts a highly finished, smooth and apparently amorphous surface on a lens or a mirror.
