Abstract
By combining efficient fabrication processes and advanced testing methods, a real production capability exists for the manufacture of large, aspheric optics. Currently, a five-axis computer-controlled optical surfacing unit is used for rapid grinding and polishing of elements up to four metres in size. This paper decribed the processes and equipment in use today and concludes with a scenario for meeting projected future fabrication needs.
