Research abstract
Arizona Optical Systems has developed the breakthrough technology FORM (Flexible Optical Ray Metrology) that measures complex aspheric windows in transmission.Powerful tomographic software and careful calibration are used to determine the surface irregularity of both surfaces of the window.Having performed the key demonstration of the FORM technique, we now propose to develop an infrared version of the test, capable of measuring visibly opaque windows that do not transmit visible wavelength light.In Phase I we performed the key technology demonstration that shows feasibility for this new IR-FORM technique.In Phase II, we will incorporate the IR-FORM technology into a measurement system and use it to measure visibly opaque conformal windows.
