현재 비구면렌즈를 만들기 위해서는 다양한 방법이 있다. Glass종류의 가공시 초정밀 절삭가공기(DTM)에서 가공하거나 정밀 연삭기를 가지고 가공하게 된다. 이 과정에서 렌즈 표면에 공구 흔적이나 표면거칠기 개선을 위해 연마작업을 하게 되는데, 사용하는 장비가 폴리싱 머신이다. 축대칭인 폴리싱머신의 경우 X, Z, $\theta$로 동시 3축제어가 가능하다. 하지만 이 장비의 경우 연마에서 원하는 형상정밀도와 표면거칠기를 얻기 위해 각축들의 위치정밀도와 분해능이 높은 부품을 사용하여 기계자체가 고가라는 점이 단점으로 작용한다.(중략)

This research's goal is to process directly aspherics with big sagment and thin center thickness. If we can process directly aspherics with big sagment and thin center thickness, we think it greatly helps to reduce the time of developing optical system. We made very thin glass using diamond grinding whetstone regarding the trace of tool and the detailed drawing of tool super precisive aspherics that has 0.46mm center thickness and over $30^{\circ}$ segment, $0.1{\mu}m$ machining accuracy, 15nm surface accuracy. We think this research's result will be effective to open new market because it is applied not only cell phone optical system but also CCTV robot optical system, internet phone optical system. Also we expect to enhance the super strong brittle precisive process's possibility with super precisive processing technique that achieves 0.46mm glass center thickness as first in the world.

Bound abrasive grinding is used for the initial fabrication phase of the precision aspheric mirrors for both space and ground based astronomical telescopes. We developed a new grinding optimization process that determines the input grinding variables for the target surface roughness, checks the grinding error magnitude in resulting surface roughnesses, and minimizes the required machining time. Using the machining data collected from the previous grinding runs and subsequently fed into the multivariable regression engine, the process has the evolving controllability that suggests the optimum set of grinding variables for each target surface roughness. The process model was then used for ten grinding experiments that resulted in the grinding accuracy of $=-0.906{\pm}3.38(\sigma)\;nm(Ra)$ for the target surface roughnesses of Zerodur substrate ranging from 96.1 nm (Ra) to 65.0 nm (Ra) The results imply that the quantitative process optimization technique developed in this study minimizes the machining time and offers the nanometric surface roughness controllability superior to the traditional, qualitative, craftsman based grinding process for the astronomical optical surfaces.

Aspheric glass lenses was fabricated by glass molding press(GMP), which is a plano-aspheric convox shape and intended for use as an optical design of 3 megapixel and 2.5 magnifications zoom in a camera phone module. Transcription ratio of form accuracy (PV) as well as resolution properties was measured for evaluation the molded lens. Form accuracy (PV) of the mold surface was $0.127\;{\mu}m$ in an aspheric and $0.168\;{\mu}m$ in a plano, in case of the molded lens it shows $0.205\;{\mu}m$ and $0.223\;{\mu}m$, respectively. Resolution of the molded lens was measured as a MTF[Contrast]. The molded lens shows contrast of 32.9% at 80 1p/mm and the value is similar with contrast of 33% obtained simulation.

This paper proposed the control algorithm fur aspheric surface grinding and was verified by the experiment. The functions of the algorithm were simultaneous control of the position and interpolation of the aspheric curve. The non-linear formula of the tool position was derived from the aspheric equations and the shape of the tool. The function was partitioned by an certain interval and the control parameters were calculated at each control section. The movement in a session was interpolated with acceleration and velocity. The position error was feed-backed by rotary encorder. The concept of feedback algorithm was correcting position error by increasing or decreasing the speed. In the experiment, two-axis machine was controlled to track the aspheric surface by the proposed algorithm. The effect of the control and process parameters was monitored. The result showed that the maximum tracking error was under sub-micro level for the concave and convex surfaces.

Plastic array lens are cheap to manufacture; however, plastic is not resistant to high temperatures and moisture. Optical glass represents a better solution but is a more-expensive alternative. Glass array lens can be produced using lithography or precision-molding techniques. The lithography process is commonly used, for instance, in the semiconductor industry; however, the manufacturing costs are high, the processing time is quite long, and spherical aberration is a problem. To obtain high-order aspherical shapes, mold-core manufacturing is conducted through ultra-precision grinding machining. In this paper, a $4{\times}1$ mold core was manufactured using an ultra-precision machine with a jig for the injection molding of an aspherical array lens. The machined mold core was measured using the Form TalySurf PGI 2+ contact-stylus profilometer. The measurement data of the mold core are suitable for the design criterion of below 0.5 um.

This paper deals with mirror grinding of a small-sized aspherical lens by the resin bonded diamond spherical wheel. Up to now, a spherical lens has been used for the lens of the optical communication optical part. However, recently, the aspherical optical parts are mainly used in order to attempt the improvement in image quality and miniaturization of the optical device. It is possible to manufacture the aspherical lens which is presently being used in optical instrument through ultra-precision machinery technology. Also, to realize compactability, efforts are being made to produce a micro aspherical lens, for which the development of a high-precision, micro molding die is inevitable. Therefore, extensive research is being done on methods of producing an micro aspherical surface by high-precision grinding. In this paper, the spherical wheel was trued by cup-type truer and tool path was calculated by the radius of curvature of wheel after truing and dressing. And then in the aspherical grinding experiment, WC material which is used as a molding die for the small-sized aspherical lens was ground. It results was that a form accuracy of 0.1918${\mu}m$ P-V and a surface roughness of 0.064${\mu}m$ Rmax.
