OSTI ID:6835463

The bibliography contains citations concerning the development of diamond turning machines (DTM) and processes, which are used in the fabrication of optical devices. Diamond turning is a rapidly developing technology for high precision, high quality, and cost effective fabrication of optical reflectors, including high power laser mirrors. Topics include optical evaluations and characteristics of diamond turned surfaces, high surface accuracy with numerically controlled DTM, diamond turned metal mirrors, single point DTM, size capabilities of DTM, and x-ray DTM systems. Diamond turning research activities at several national laboratories and cosponsorships with the Department of Defense (DOD) and Department of Energy (DOE) are presented. Computer aided design and manufacturing of optical equipment is excluded and examined in a separate bibliography. (Contains a minimum of 117 citations and includes a subject term index and title list.)
