Previously we established that the combination of new machining parameters for openbacked monolithic lightweighted ZERODUR® mirror substrates, coupled with new methods for optical finishing of aggressively lightweighted mirrors, have relieved classi

Modern day telescopes for astronomy have very complex requirements. Both ground and space based telescopes are getting much larger placing significant productivity requirements on the manufacturing processes employed. Conventional manufacturing parad

Direct Sintered Silicon Carbide (SSiC) is a promising material to fabricate large (over 1 meter diameter) land and space based mirror optics due to its low areal density, high stiffness and high thermal stability. To make large mirror optics for visi

Polishing has traditionally been a process of mechanical abrasion with each iteration removing the damage from the previous iteration. Modern sub-aperture techniques such as CCOS, MRF polishing etc. have added a considerable amount of determinism to

Mechanical grinding and shaping of optical materials imparts damage that manifests itself as defects and cracks that can propagate well below the surface of the optic. Mitigation of damage is necessary to preserve the integrity of the optic and relie
