Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Conference contribution

Abstract

Free-form surfaces look set to revolutionise optical design. We report on recent development of the Precessions process for polishing free-form surfaces from the precision-ground state, and correcting form-errors. On-going experimental results are presented.
