Assistant Research Professor
College of Optical Sciences
University of Arizona
Precision optics can be efficiently produced using a computer controlled optical surfacing (CCOS) process. Various new approaches advancing the current CCOS processes have been developed and implemented to manufacture highly aspheric or free-form optics, such as the 8.4m diameter Giant Magellan Telescope off-axis primary segment at the University of Arizona. The new technologies and theories including Rigid Conformal (RC) lap using non-Newtonian fluid, smoothing model for mid-to-high spatial frequency error control, edge removal effect for segmented optical systems, and non-sequential optimization using multiple tools simultaneously, are presented with actual data demonstrating the performance of the enhanced process to build next generation optical systems. |
