New Diamond Turning Technical Datasheet From Precision-Optical

12 Apr 2006

Product news

Precision-Optical Engineering (P-OE) has published the latest in its series of technical datasheets on Diamond Turning in the technical library section of its website.

The new data sheet, DM006, is entitled: "Measuring Diamond Turned Aspheric and Diffractive Surfaces".

The measurement of diamond turned aspheric and diffractive surfaces requires a high degree of accuracy. Diamond turned surfaces are typically measured for surface roughness (Ra) in nanometres; form error (or PV) in microns and step height for diffractive surfaces in microns. Surface measurement methods include contact and non-contact techniques and this data sheet looks at both measurement methods.

This is the sixth datasheet in the Diamond Turning category and the 17th in total, which also includes Optical Systems Engineering and Infrared Interferometry.

Infrared / IR SpectroscopyInfrared (IR) spectroscopy measures the interaction of infrared light with a sample, including transmission, reflectance & absorbance, facilitating the identification of analytes. Equipment used for quantitative analysis includes Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometers, infrared cameras, FTIR gas analyzers, as well as attenuated total reflectance (ATR) accessories and pellet or film presses.

An interferometer is used to produce 2 or more overlapping waves. The interferometer is comprised of 2 or more telescopes, a detector and a correlator. The interferometer detector may utilize homodyne or heterodyne detection of the interference pattern.
