Masks of improved design developed for use in fabrication of aspherical, rotationally symmetrical surfaces of mirrors, lenses, and lens molds by evaporative deposition onto rotating substrates. In deposition chamber, source and mask aligned with axis of rotation of substrate. Mask shadows source of rotating substrate. Azimuthal opening (as function of radius) in mask proportional to desired thickness (as function of radius) to which material deposited on substrate. Combination of improved masks and modern coating chambers provides optical surfaces comparable or superior to those produced by conventional polishing, computer-controlled polishing, replication from polished molds, and diamond turning, at less cost in material, labor, and capital expense.
