Abstract

Recent advances in machine tools for single point diamond turning have significantly improved the quality of machined surfaces available. The most recent generation of SPDT machines are producing optical surfaces suitable for many visible wavelength applications. This presentation will examine the quality of current SPDT surfaces and compare them with reasonable criteria for visible wavelength surface specifications.
