Abstract

A major challenge in optics is to make optical components like mirrors and lenses smaller and cheaper. This is achieved by designing optical components that have conformal or free-form shapes. A free-form optic is defined as one that is not symmetrical about any axis. These highly demanding requirements are met by single point diamond machining in rigid ultra precision machine tools.
