Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

The ability to grow large single crystal silicon substrates and their potential applications in high energy laser systems has provided the need for application of advanced fabrication capabilities to this material. Diamond turning, diamond grinding and other non-conventional fabrication methods for piano and aspheric optics are candidates for processing single crystal silicon. Diamond turning of such materials1,2 are providing an economical means of producing these optics.
