Ultra-Low Surface Roughness Polishing

ON DEMAND WEBINAR

Ultra-Low Surface
Roughness Polishing and Metrology

Join us for a discussion about the fabrication and measurement of superpolished optics with sub-angstrom surface roughness.

Minimize scatter for highly-sensitive laser optics applications!

We invite you to join this 45-minute webinar presented by experts from Edmund Optics, Jayson Nelson and Shawn Iles. Learn about ultra-low roughness optical surfaces developed by Edmund Optics.

At the end of this webinar, participants will have a strong understanding of:

  • The benefits of ultra-low roughness surfaces
  • Fundamental processes used in the creation of these surfaces
  • How to characterize and measure these surfaces
  • What tools are needed to report results with confidence
  • Ideal applications for superpolished surfaces
