Large Optics Diamond Turning Machine (LODTM) at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory used to make highly amorphic reflecting wavefront-corrector plates with rms difference between desired and measured reflector surfaces of only 0.075 wave. Measured errors correspond to one standard deviation of uncertainties in digitization and reduction of interferograms of surface. Appears accuracy of LODTM-generated surface exceeds current ability to measure it. Work demonstrates feasibility of single-point diamond turning for manufacture of generalized wavefront-control surfaces or other unusual surfaces desired by optical designers.
