Abstract
In the quest for high speed optical fabrication techniques, ion beam sputtering has emerged as a viable means of removing material from an optical surface. Ion beam sputtering was first used as an optical figuring technique in the mid 1960’s[1,2]. Since that time, a number of investigators have applied ion beam sputtering as a figuring technique, with some degree of success.
