Laser Ablation Shapes Precision Optics

Trying to precisely shape optics and achieve low wavefront distortion with conventional polishing methods can be a daunting task, particularly for optical components that are larger than 50 cm or smaller than 1 cm. For both large and small optics, wavefront measurements are difficult. "It is much more convenient if we can shape and measure the optics on the same stage," said Takahisa Jitsuno, an associate professor at Osaka University. "Of course it is also convenient in medium-size optics, but we have several schemes for dealing with medium-size optics." Jitsuno and fellow...Read full article
