Research abstract
IN THIS PROJECT, ION-BEAM-FIGURING TECHNIQUES WILL BE APPLIED TO FIGURE ASPHERIC OPTICAL ELEMENTS. A LENS WILL BE CORRECTED FOR 5TH-ORDER ABERRATIONS AS A DEMONSTRATION. SIMULATED ION-BEAM FIGURING OF MORE COMPLEX ELEMENTS WILL BE PERFORMED TO ILLUSTRATE THE POWER OF THE TECHNIQUE.
