This paper is described about the technique of ultra-precision machining for a infrared camera aspheric mirror. A 200 mm diameter aspheric mirror was fabricated by SPDTM. Aluminum alloy as mirror substrates is known to be easily machined, but not polishable due to its ductility. Aspheric large reflector without a polishing process, the surface roughness of 5 nm Ra, and the form error of $\lambda/2\;(\lambda=632.8 nm)$ for reference curved surface 200 mm has been required. The purpose of this research is to find the optimum machining conditions for cutting reflector using A16061-T651 and apply the SPDTM technique to the manufacturing of ultra precision optical components of Al-alloy aspheric reflector.

This paper is described about the technique of ultra-precision machining for an aerospace aspheric mirror. The reflection mirror system generates parallel beams inside a thermal vacuum chamber. A 200mm diameter aspheric mirror was fabricated by SPDTM. Aluminum alloy as mirror substrates is known to be easily machined, but not polishable due to its ductility. Aspheric large reflector without a polishing process, the surface roughness of 10nm Ra, and the form error of ${\lambda}/2$ (${\lambda}$=632.8nm) for reference curved surface 200mm has been required. The purpose of this research is to find the optimum machining conditions for cutting reflector using Al6061-T651 and apply the SPDTM technique to the manufacturing of ultra precision optical components of Al-alloy aspheric reflector.

This paper describs about the technique of ultra-precision machining for an infrared(IR) camera aspheric mirror. A 200 mm diameter aspheric mirror was fabricated by SPDTM(Single Point Diamond Turning Machine). Aluminum alloy as mirror substrates is known to be easily machined, but not polishable due to its ductility. Aspheric large reflector without a polishing process, the surface roughness of 5 nm Ra, and the form error of ${\lambda}/2\;({\lambda}=632.8\;nm)$ for reference curved surface 200 mm has been required. The purpose of this research is to find the optimum machining conditions for cutting reflector using Al6061-T651 and apply the SPDTM technique to the manufacturing of ultra precision optical components of Al-alloy aspheric reflector. The cutting force and the surface roughness are measured according to each cutting conditions feed rate, depth of cut and cutting speed, using diamond turning machine to perform cutting processing. As a result, the surface roughness is good when feed rate is 1mm/min, depth of cut $4{\mu}m$ and cutting speed is 220 m/min. We could machined the primary mirror for IR camera in diamond machine with a surface roughness within $0.483{\mu}m$ Rt on aspheric.

This paper described about the ultra-precision profile measurement of aspheric surfaces using contact probing technique. A contact probe has been designed as a sensing device to obtain measuring resolutions in nanometer regime utilizing a leaf spring mechanism and a capacitive-type sensor. The contact probe is attached on the z-axis during measurement while aspheric objects are supported on the single point diamond turning machine(SPDTM). The machine xz-axis motions are monitored by a set of two orthogonal plane mirror type laser interferometers. Experimental results show that the contact probing technique developed of On-machine Measurement System in this investigation is capable of providing a repeatability of 20 nanometers with a $\pm$20 uncertainty of 300 nanometers.

Machining technique for optical crystals with single point diamond turning tool is reported in this paper. The main factors influencing the machined surface quality are studied and regularities of machining process are drawn. Optical crystals have been known to more and more important applications in the field of modern optics. Ge is more brittle material 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. The purpose of our research is to find the optimum machining conditions for ductile cutting of Ge and apply the SPDTM technique to the manufacturing of ultra precision optical components of Ge. As a result, the surface roughness is the best when cutting speed is 180m/min, feed rate is 2mm/min, depth of cut is $0.5{\mu}m$ and nose radius of tool is 0.8mm.
