Abstract
An economical method of fabricating aspherics and optical design flexibility for an even broader family of optical shapes is now possible through precision machining of optics. One of the most exciting developments over the past few years has been in the area of diamond turning of optics. Diamond turning is now a recognized and sought-after technology.
