Abstract
In recent years, plano continuous annular polishing machines have become popular in achieving ultra-flat optical surfaces. These machines offer the advantages of achieving fractional wavelength accuracies in very short times and with minimum operator attention, as well as giving exceptionally low levels of fine structure, which in turn gives minimum scatter light -- a factor important in laser or ultraviolet light applications.
