Rapid Post-Polishing of Diamond-Turned Optics |
| Published: |
January 01, 1994 |
| Abstract: |
A simple technique for post-polishing single-point, diamond-turned optics is described. Synthetic fabric-faced laps are used. Surface finish converges to a limiting value set by process parameters. Lap construction and diamond grit size affects both convergence rate and ultimate finish. |
