New Conception In Microoptics Aspherisation: Laser Shaping And Polishing

A new laser method and apparatus for aspherisation of optical surfaces are described. The physical model of laser action on glass including laser shaping and laser polishing are discussed. The principals of design of laser installation for aspherisation of mini- and microoptical components are given. Some type of aspherical components like cylindrical lenses with hyperbolic and elliptic surface are produced, tested and presented.
