Abstract

Polishing processes for optical glass has become one of the subjects with the greatest need for new research due to increasingly exacting demands relating to the quality of optical components, and to the lack of technological transparency. Form and surface faults are currently the most common reason for the rejection of optical components. The level of surface quality which can be achieved and their dependence on mechanical variables is determined largely by the composition of the polishing suspension. Whilst chemical effects play an important role in terms of surface faults, form accuracy is determined in reproductive polishing operations, by the geometrical conditions as well as by the forces and moments.
