Quality of silicon convex lenses fabricated by ultra-high precision diamond machining
Infra-red optical components are made mainly from hard and brittle materials such as germanium and silicon. Silicon machining is characterised by some difficulties when ultra-high precision machined by mono-crystalline single-point diamond. Accelerated tool wear and machined-surface deterioration ma...
