Research abstract

Aluminum Oxide (sapphire) windows are a critical element Electro Optical (EO) and infrared (IR) imaging systems. As the demand for an increase in the performance of these optical systems rises, so must the quality of the sapphire windows. One of the mosttechnically challenging aspects of producing high quality sapphire optics is achieving the required surface figure while maintaining a stress free optical surface with good surface finish (or micro-roughness). The desired surface figure error is now <0.03 waves rms as tested at 632.8 nm for a 22
