Abstract

In the near future many large optics are required for astronomy and space applications. The use of computer controlled optical surfacing provides a way to meet this challenging requirement. This paper describes such an automated fabrication operation, the process, and equipment. Also, the automated fabrication of six large aspheric optics is reported.
