<title>Diamond Turning Of Infrared Optics</title>

Abstract: The single point diamond turning process is ideally suited to making aspheric optical elements for use in the infrared region.In this paper, applications of diamond turning to various materials and geometries for both refractive and reflective optical elements are considered, based upon direct manufacturing experience.

“…The disc surfaces were first black anodized and then the front surface was diamond-turned to produce a highly reflective surface to minimize the amount of absorbed radiation. A fresh diamond-turned aluminum surface has very similar reflectivity to vacuum-deposited aluminum (greater than 95 % at 1.06 μm) [ 5 ]. It’s important to choose the proper material for constructing the ROC to minimize the grating effect (i.e., multiple reflected beams) from the grooves produced on the diamond-turned surface at the laser wavelength to be used.…”
