| Abstract: |
The innovative VIBE process is a full-aperture, conformal polishing process designed to incorporate high frequency and random motion to rapidly remove grinding damage in a VIBE polishing step, while maintaining the desired form. This research proposal proposes to implement VIBE to rapidly polish a spinel optically precise conformal window and interferometrically verify the measurement. |
| Benefits: |
Implementing VIBE to polish the hard spinel material will allow for a decrease in unit cost of processing conformal shapes. Another added benefit will be the decrease in time spent processing these types of hard materials and conformal shapes. |
