Abstract

The method of stressed lap polishing promises to be very powerful for figuring steep aspherics. The shape of a sub-diameter lap is changed in motion under computer control to match the desired surface shape. If this is done perfectly, the problem is reduced to that of polishing a spherical surface with a sub-diameter lap. However, this simpler process still requires considerable care, to ensure uniformity of removal and control during figuring.
