Abstract

Specific examples of the manufacturing and testing of 1 inch diameter fused silica etalons to fractional arc second tolerances will be discussed. A step by step description of both planetary and spindle polishing processes along with the results of each will be presented. Various testing methods will be described along with the benefits of each.
