Totally new horizons in lens design have been opened by ion bombardment. The technique has the inherent possibility of producing variations in refractive index across a surface and a highly polished surface in the same specimen. Controlled manufacture of aspheric lenses is possible and is cheaper and faster than conventional methods. Removal of residual sleeks from conventional polishing are reported. As beam energy increases, surface penetration increases and ion implantation is possible. Effects of ion beams on insulators are discussed and control of optical absorption and luminescence, as well as chemical stability and conductivity, is possible. The author concludes by pointing out the great scope for applications of irradiation damage in glass.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100989,"journal":{"name":"Optics Technology","volume":"2 2","pages":"Pages 65-67"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1970-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0374-3926(70)90003-7","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73883725","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A major cause of such differences may well be mechanical error in the optical bench which supports the lens under test. Ideally, the bench is required to be of such accuracy that the image-analysing system moves in a plane (the chosen image plane) parallel to the lens mounting face. Mechanical errors which cause the analyser to be displaced from this plane by only a few micrometres, may cause significant variations in the measured otf. In this note a method is described for measuring the perpendicular displacement, δz, of the image analyser from the image plane at different angular settings of the optical bench.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100989,"journal":{"name":"Optics Technology","volume":"2 2","pages":"Pages 85-87"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1970-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0374-3926(70)90007-4","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88840383","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
