Reactive ion beam etching – based finishing of optical aluminium surfaces

Reactively driven low-energy ion beam machining is a widely used finishing technique for optical aluminium surfaces. Direct RIBE machining with oxygen or nitrogen process gas permits figure error correction of diversely shaped aluminium optics while preserving the initial roughness up to 1 µm etchin...
