Interferometry has gained general acceptance as the most credible single test means for the optical system or component whose optical path difference (OPD) must be a few wavelengths of light or less. The optical shop must be capable of delivering not only the optic that the customer ordered, but also an interferogram demonstrating the optic's quality.

There are many reasons for using thin film epoxy replicas besides significant cost savings for the individual components. These reasons are described using actual applications as examples. Substrate requirements for these applications range from a flat surface for a flat mirror, to a spherical surface for a moderately fast parabola, to an ellipsoidal surface for a highly aspheric ellipsoid. A description of the replica defects caused by surface defects in the substrate is presented. Also included is a brief description of the tooling, production lead times and cost volume relationships for these applications.

Manufacturing infrared optical components, up until the recent past, usually meant optical surfacing by conventional methods. Grinding and polishing have been the primary surfacing processes for both spherical and aspheric optics. Recent advances in both diamond turning and forging of infrared materials is providing a new competitive platform for surfacing which, in turn, is substantially changing design and manufacturing strategies. It is hoped that by informing users of recent advances in diamond turning, forward thinking in the design area will be encouraged. This paper is divided into two parts - a review of diamond turning fundamentals, followed by a presentation of selected turning results in I.R. materials.

In the digital heterodyne interferometer, the single frequency output of a laser is split, and each component is frequency shifted by separate Bragg cells. The difference of the frequency shifts can be 0 Hz for conventional "see the fringe" operation, or 1 MHz for accurate phase measurement. One of these components then has its polarization rotated by 90°, and the two are combined without loss by a polarization selective beam combiner cube. The composite beam is expanded to 2 cm, and injected into a polarization selective Twyman-Green interferometer. Each arm has a quarter-wave plate oriented such that the return radiation has its polarization rotated 90°, and the two beams then exit the interferometer. Thus, at the interference plane there exists light of orthogonal polarizations with one polarization having traveled the reference path and one the test path; and the polarizations have a 1 MHz frequency difference. A linear polarizer oriented at a 45° angle to these polarizations causes the beams to mix.

The development of a technique for fabricating large bare beryllium mirrors with low-scatter surfaces is described. The technique is based upon the application of a thick, high purity beryllium coating to a beryllium substrate. The technique has been identified as Be-on-Be Processing. The coating is fully dense, very low in dissolved impurities and free from both inclusions and second phase particles. These special qualities of the coating result in enhanced fabrication characteristics which result in the ability to polish a low-scatter finish superior to that which is obtained from conventional material. The character of the coating also results in enhanced response to rapid fabrication techniques. Single-point turning of the coating has been promising and numerous mirrors have been fabricated incorporating this technique. A Draper type polishing machine has also been modified to incorporate in-situ testing of figure utilizing interferometric evaluation of the Be-on-Be mirrors. Examples of mirrors produced with this technology are presented.

Automated laser drilling of cooling holes in jet engine parts is an important part of the aircraft engine manufacturing process. Proper hole placement and shape is critical to attaining required cooling function without sacrificing structural integrity. Due to variability in the laser drilling process, each hole must be inspected individually. A video camera coupled with a precision, computer-controlled manipulator such as that used to position the part for the drilling of each hole, offers the potential for an accurate, high speed inspection system.
