Location:the fifth western building A420(the first conference room)
Introduction :Ultra-precision freeform
surfaces are complex surfaces that possess non-rotational symmetry and are
widely used in various industrial applications. Due to the geometrical
complexity of the ultra-precision freeform surfaces, this imposes a lot of
research challenges in the fabrication and measurement of those surfaces. In
this presentation, the speaker would like to share his research work and
experience related to ultra-precision machining and freeform surface
measurement which has being undertaken in the Partner State Key Laboratory of
Ultraprecision Machining Technology at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University.
Some examples of applications of the technologies in freeform optics are also
discussed.
