Abstract

Micro-structured optical components (MOCs) show great promise for offering an exciting new degree of freedom and flexibility to optical designers and producers. At present, these micro/miniature components are usually manufactured by large ultra-precision machine tools in tightly controlled environment and the cost of machining is thus very high. In this study, a novel machine with compact structure and flexibility was built, specially used for machining of the MOCs. The key points of the design are given. Fresnel lens, as an example of MOCs, was machined by this machine tool, and the result shows that the form accuracy of the machine tool is in the order of sub-micrometer.
