Machining technique for optical crystals with single point diamond turning tool is reported in tills paper. The main factors influencing the machined surface quality are discovered and regularities of machining process are drawn. Optical crystals have found more and more important applications in the field of modern optics. Optical crystals are mostly brittle materials of poor machinability The traditional machining method is polishing which has many shortcomings such as low production efficiency, poor ability to be automatically controlled and edge effect of the workpiece. SPDT has been widely used in manufacturing optical reflectors of non-ferrous metals such as aluminum and copper which are easy to be machined for their proper ductility. But optical crystals being discussed here are characterized by their high brittleness which makes it difficult to obtain high quality optical surfaces on them. The purpose of our research is to find the optimum machining conditions for ductile cutting of optical crystals and apply the SPDT technique to the manufacturing of ultra precision optical components of brittle materials. As a result, the cutting force is steady, the cutting force range is 0.05-0.08N. The surface roughness is good when spindle is above 1400rpm, and feed rate is small. The influence of depth of cut is very small.

일반적으로 천체 망원경에 사용되는 반사경은 유리 소재로 제작된다. 그러나 알루미늄을 반사경 소재로 사용하면 광기계구조물과 반사경의 열팽창계수가 유사하여 치수 안정성이 높다는 장점이 있다. 뿐만 아니라 다이아몬드 선삭 기계 (Diamond Turning Machine, DTM)를 이용할 수 있기 때문에 반사경의 가공 시간 및 제작 비용을 절감할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 알루미늄 합금 (Al6061-T6)을 소재로 구경 150 mm, 초점거리 600 mm인 포물면 반사경을 제작하였다. 우선 DTM을 이용해 알루미늄을 가공하였는데, 이 때 표면 조도와 관련된 고주파 오차 (High Frequency Error, HFE)가 발생한다. 따라서 표면 조도를 향상시키기 위한 추가적인 공정으로써 가공된 표면을 도금한 후 열처리를 하고, 폴리싱과 이중 코팅을 거쳐서 최종 반사경을 얻었다. 각 단계별 공정을 마친 후에는 접촉식 및 광학식 형상 측정 방법으로 표면 측정을 실시하여 이를 분석하였다. 본 발표에서는 각 공정 단계에서의 반사경 표면 분석 결과를 설명할 것이며, 제작된 알루미늄 반사경과 기존의 유리 소재의 반사경을 성능 면에서 비교할 것이다.

We report a novel design of the "linear astigmatism-free" three mirror system (LAF-TMS). In general, the linear astigmatism is one of the most dominant aberration degrading image qualities in common off-axis systems. The proposed LAF-TMS is based on a confocal off-axis three mirror system, where higher order aberrations are minimized via our numerical optimization. The system comprises three pieces of aluminum-alloy freeform mirrors that are feasible to be fabricated with current single-point diamond turning (SPDT) machining technology. The surface figures, dimensions, and positions of mirrors are carefully optimized for a LAF performance. For higher precision-positioning mechanism, we also included alignment parts: shims (for tilting) and L-brackets (for decentering). Any possible mechanical deformation due to assembly process as well as 1-G gravity, and its influence on optical performances of the system are investigated via the finite element (FE) analysis. The LAF-TMS has low f-number and a wide field of view, which is promising for sky monitoring programs such as supernova surveys.

Recently, demand the ultra precision product which is increasing rapidly is used extensively frontier industry field such as semi-conductor, computer, aerospace, precision machine. Ultra precision processing is the portion that is very needed to NT in the field of mechanical engineering. The latest date, together with radical advancement of electronic and photonics industry, necessity of ultra precision processing is on the increase for the manufacture of various kernel parts those are connected with these industrial fields. Specially, require motion accuracy of high resolution of nm order in stroke of hundreds millimeters according as diameter of processing object great and processing accuracy rises. In this case ,the response speed absolute delay because inertial mass of moving part is very large. Therefore, real time motion error compensation becomes very hardly. In this paper, we used ultra precision cutting unit(UPCU) to cope such problem. a UPCU is designed and tested to obtain sub-micrometer from accuracy in diamond turning of flat surfaces. The thermal growth spindle error is compensated for real time using a UPCU driven by piezoelectric actuator along with a laser encoder displacement sensor.

검출기의 분광감응도 표준으로부터 출발하여 SI 기본 단위의 하나인 칸델라(candela)눈금의 불확도는 복사계 개구의 면적 측정 불확도에 의해서 제한을 받는다. 칸델라 눈금을 새로 실현하기 위하여 다이아몬드 선삭가공기를 사용하여 개구의 가장자리가 칼날과 같도록 가공하였다. 이 개구를 디지털 되먹임 알고리듬을 채용한 x-y 이송대에 설치한 후, 출력이 안정화된 레이저 광선을 빔 허리가 5 $\mu\textrm{m}$ 이하가 되도록 집속시키고, 이송대를 이동하면서 개구의 가장자리 좌표를 칼날주사 방법으로 검출하였다. 이 좌표들을 지나는 최적의 타원을 최소 제곱법으로 결정하여 개구의 면적으로 구하였다. 측정 불확도를 분석한 결과 제작한 장치의 면적 측정의 상대 측정 표준 불확도(k=1)는 8${\times}$$10^{-5}$이다.

The Schwarzschild-Chang off-axis telescope is a "linear astigmatism-free" confocal system. The telescope comprises two pieces of aluminum-alloy freeform mirrors that are fabricated with diamond turning machine (DTM) process. We designed optomechanical structures where optical components in the telescope system can be adjustable on a linear stage. Optomechanical deformation caused by the weight of system itself and its temperature variation is analyzed by the finite element analysis (FEA). The results show that the deformation is estimated in the tolerance range. For the optic-axis alignment of telescope system, three-point alignment (TPA) method is chosen. The TPA method uses three parallel lasers and a plane mirror. Point source images were taken from collimated light and field observation. The performance of optical system was tested by point spread function and aberration measurement of the point sources.

Through using aspheric lens can result in advantages such as an improved optical transfer function, a reduced distortion path or the realization of special image field curvatures. Using the diamond turning method for generating aspherics, the company claim to be able to generate surfaces with a form error of less than $0.33\;{\mu}\;m$ and a surface roughness of less than $0.025\;{\mu}\;m$. In this paper, we are manufacturing thermal image aspheric lens. Thermal image system is electro-optical imaging device which can make visible the difference of infrared energy naturally emitted by objected. In the result of aspherical surface, the form accuracy of about $0.24\;{\mu}\;m$ P-V was obtained and the surface roughness Ra $0.004\;{\mu}\;m$. Also, a brief review of Ultra-precision system Korea photonics technology institute(KOPTI) is present in this paper.

In this paper, two kind of free-form progressive addition lenses (PALs) were designed with Zernike polynomial surface and anatomically accurate finite presbyopic schematic eyes which have aspheric cornea, aspheric GRIN crystalline lens, aspheric retina, and Gaussian apodization factor. Geometrical and diffraction MTFs were used for the optimization process in sequence. 5th orders of Zernike polynomials were used for the evaluation of progression zones of the two examples. The target MTF was set as 0.22 at 100 lp/mm which satisfies the standard visual resolution. These examples were fabricated with a CNC diamond turning machine controlled by slow tool servo (STS). After polishing process, the wavefront aberrations were measured with a laser interferometer on the ten test points across the progression zones and then compared with three current commercially available PALs on the optical performance. Astigmatic aberrations of the examples are very lower than the three selected PALs and have more increased stabilized progressive intermediate zones and near zones. It is expected to give better clear and comfortable distance, intermediate and near visions than other conventional PALs and to improve the adaptability of presbyopic patients to PALs.
