Abstract
The application of ion beams to figure optical surfaces has been examined for a number of years by several groups of investigators. The technique is generally intended to perform final figuring on surfaces which are several optical waves from what is desired. However, until recently the technique has not offered promise to be an efficient, practical method to figure optics.
