Optifab 2005 Dedicated toHarvey PollicoveOptifab 2005 is hereby dedicated to the memory ofour friend and colleague, Harvey Pollicove, who diedSunday 25 January 2004. Harvey was co-founder withDuncan Moore and director of the Center for OpticsManufacturing (COM) at the University of Rochester.Harvey was chair of the first Optifab conference2 years ago in Rochester. The event was highlysuccessful.

To all of Harvey’s colleagues in the optics industry, hewas a true friend ... a real gem of a person. We allmiss you, Harvey ...

Precision Machining of OpticsThis course will provide the attendee with the fundamentals of single pointdiamond turning (SPDT) and its applications for manufacturing optical ele-ments and systems. Materials suitable for the process (metals, crystals andplastics) will be discussed. The limits of precision of SPDT in terms of sur-face figure, finish and irregularity will be covered. The course informs aboutalternative optical configurations, not suitable for conventional construc-tion, such as monolithic collimators and “snap-together” opto-mechanicalassemblies. Included are several examples demonstrating how such ele-ments and systems are designed to fully take advantage of this manufactur-ing method.LEARNING OUTCOMESThis course will enable you to:• understand the manufacturing process• identify opportunities for performance improvements and cost

reductions• specify basic configurations• estimate reduction of needed elements compared to conventional

manufacturing processes• perceive unique opto-mechanical configurations• recognize the limits of the process related to the different spectral

regions• communicate knowledgeably with experienced lens designersINTENDED AUDIENCEThe presented material is intended for engineers, scientists and technicianswho want to be able to apply the SPDT technology in their design. Projectmanagers will gain knowledge of the process and can better judge the rea-sons for the designer’s choice.INSTRUCTORMax Riedl is currently technical advisor to several U.S. corporations. He holdsa Dipl Ing. (F.H.) degree in precision mechanics and optics and has workedin the field of mathematical and eletro-optical instruments for more than 40years.

Aspheric Optics: Design, Fabrication, and TestThis course will provide attendees with a broad and useful understanding ofaspheric surfaces and components. Aspheric or non-spherical surfaces in alens or mirror system can bring significant benefits to the optical perfor-mance. This is not without the liabilities of added cost, delivery time, andeven producibility. The course will begin with lens design, and specificallyhow and when to incorporate aspherics into a variety of lens design forms.We discuss what aspherics will do for a design, and also what they will notdo. We then will discuss how aspheric surfaces are manufactured along withrecommendations on how to specify aspherics. Several methods for pre-dicting performance for systems with asphere induced wavefront irregulari-ties will be shown. We also will discuss the testing of aspherics.

This course provides attendees with an understanding ofthe source of ambiguity in surface imperfection specifications, and providesthe context needed to properly specify surface imperfections using a vari-ety of specification standards, and to evaluate a given optic to a particularlevel of surface imperfection specification. The course will focus on the dif-ferences and application of the Mil-PRF-13830, ISO 10110-7, and BSR/OP1.002. Many practical and useful specification examples are includedthroughout, as well as a hands-on demonstration on visual comparison evalu-ation techniques.LEARNING OUTCOMESThis course will enable you to:• describe the various surface imperfection specifications that exist today• compose a meaningful surface imperfection specification for cosmetic

imperfections using ISO, ANSI, or Mil standards• identify the different illumination methods and comparison standards

for evaluation• demonstrate a surface imperfection visual inspection• understand the options available for controlling surface imperfections in

a vendor/supplier relationshipINTENDED AUDIENCEThis material is intended for anyone who needs specify, quote, or evaluateoptics for surface imperfections. Those who either design their own optics orwho are responsible for optics quality control will find this course valuable.INSTRUCTORDavid Aikens is the Director of Metrology Operations at Zygo Corporation,and has been designing and specifying optics for more than 20 years. Hehas been active in the development of surface imperfection standards since1996, and is currently serving as Chairman of the Board for the ANSI accred-ited Optics and Electro-Optics Standards Council, and is a technical advisorfor the American delegation to ISO TAG TC172.

The course price includes a copy of the latest ANSI approved surface imper-fections specification standard.

THE AMERICAN PRECISION OPTICS MANUFACTURERS ASSOCIATION

Join APOMA Today!OUR MISSION STATEMENTAPOMA represents a broad constituency of precision optics manufacturers,and the supporting industry along with academic associates, whose mutualinterest is the advancement and expansion of optics manufacturing andtechnology. APOMA is pledged to act on behalf of its members, whosecommon interests are far more important than the small differences that havefor too long fragmented the industry. Common concern and cooperation arethe essential foundation of sustaining a viable technology base.

INDUSTRY ADVOCATEIn 1988, APOMA wrote a comprehensive industrial modernization proposaladvocating the effective cooperation of industry, academia and government.A key element of the proposal was the foundation of the Center for OpticsManufacturing (COM), located at the University of Rochester, whichfacilitates modernization and provides continuing assistance for the opticalindustry. Other areas that receive APOMA support are: Optical Standards,Optical Fabrication Training and Student Travel to Optical Fabrication andTesting seminars.

MEETINGSAPOMA schedules at least two national meetings each year. Meeting datesand times conveniently coincide with the major conferences of the SPIE andOSA. Members are advised of the meeting day and time.

PUBLICATIONSMembers receive a newsletter discussing issues, activities, meeting dates anditems of critical interest.

OBJECTIVES• Provide a forum for

peers and associates todiscuss opportunitiesand concerns in theoptics industry.

• Initiate actions thatstimulate advances inscience, technology andbusiness opportunitiesfor the opticalcommunity.

• Serve as a unified,coherent voice inpromoting expansionand growth of the opticsmanufacturing base.

In the Beginning

On 1 July 1955, fiftyinnovative people met at arestaurant in Studio City,California, to discuss theneed for a professionalsociety dedicated to theadvancement of opticallybased test andmeasurement equipment.

Dynamic technological advancements hadcreated a need for equipment to test andmeasure aircraft, missile, and rocketflights. In August of 1955, seventy-fourattendees participated in the first formalmeeting of “SPIE-Society of Photo-OpticalInstrumentation Engineers” at the OldCarolina Pines Restaurant on Melrose inHollywood. Richard Councilman waselected President; Robert Minter, VicePresident; Robert Betty, Secretary;Stanley Baker, Treasurer; and RobertWoltz, Program Chairman.

This small pioneering group, along withother volunteers, met once or twicemonthly to organize the details of thisnew Society, which would one daybecome the repository of the work ofmore than 154,000 authors from 122countries around the world.

Five decades after its inception, thoughthe technologies and their applicationshave continued to evolve, the Society’smission has remained much the same.SPIE continues to serve the scientific andengineering community with enthusiasmand commitment.

SPIE has become the largestinternational force for the exchange,collection and dissemination ofknowledge in optics, photonics andimaging. Today, SPIE is the growinglegacy of all those who seek to learn,discover and innovate.

We celebrate this Golden Anniversaryyear with memories of our past thatgive power to our future.
