Modern Optical Polishing Techniques

Precision optical components form the cornerstone of modern optical systems, playing a pivotal role in determining the performance and quality of optical devices. Transforming optical raw materials into functional components involves several steps: blank forming, rough grinding, fine grinding, polishing, and coating. High-quality optical components exhibit high surface accuracy, low surface roughness, and minimal surface damage. These characteristics directly influence light behavior—high surface accuracy minimizes deviation, and low roughness reduces light scattering.

Among the critical stages in optical manufacturing, polishing is fundamental to achieving the desired processing precision and product performance.
