This book reexamines the age-old field of optical fabrication from a materials-science perspective, specifically the multiple, complex interactions between the workpiece (optic), slurry, and lap. It also describes novel characterization and fabrication techniques to improve and better understand the optical fabrication process, ultimately leading to higher quality optics with higher yield.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eMaterials Science and Technology of Optical Fabrication\u003c\/i\u003e is divided into two major parts. The first part describes the phenomena and corresponding process parameters affecting both the grinding and polishing processes during optical fabrication. It then relates them to the critical resulting properties of the optic (surface quality, surface figure, surface roughness, and material removal rate). The second part of the book covers a number of related topics including: developed forensic tools used to increase yield of optics with respect to surface quality (scratch\/dig) and fracture loss; novel characterization and fabrication techniques used to understand\/quantify the fundamental phenomena described in the first part of the book; novel and recent optical fabrication processes and their connection with the fundamental interactions; and finally, special techniques utilized to fabricate optics with high damage resistance.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eFocuses on the fundamentals of grinding and polishing, from a materials science viewpoint, by studying the chemical and mechanical interactions\/phenomena over many scale lengths between the workpiece, slurry, and lap\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eExplains how these phenomena affect the major characteristics of the optic workpiece--namely surface figure, surface quality, surface roughness, and material removal rate\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDescribes methods to improve the major characteristics of the workpiece as well as improve process yield, such as through fractography and scratch forensics\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCovers novel characterization and fabrication techniques used to understand and quantify the fundamental phenomena of various aspects of the workpiece or fabrication process\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDetails novel and recent optical fabrication processes and their connection with the fundamental interactions\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eMaterials Science and Technology of Optical Fabrication\u003c\/i\u003e is an excellent guidebook for process engineers, fabrication engineers, manufacturing engineers, optical scientists, and opticians in the optical fabrication industry.
