Journal ArticleDOI
The Application of Spatial Filtering Techniques to Profile Inspection, and an Associated Interference Phenomenon
TL;DR: In this paper, it is shown that the central minimum of the spatially filtered pattern delineates the true edge only if the radius of the specimen is zero, and that the positional error is a function of the cube root of the radius.
Journal ArticleDOI
An Improved Recording Refractometer for Optical Glasses in the Wavelength Range 300 to 2600 nm
TL;DR: In this paper, a recording refractometer was designed to measure the refractive indices of optical glasses throughout their spectral transmitting range with greater reliability than has hitherto been possible; uncertainties of ± 1 × 10-5 are obtainable.
Journal ArticleDOI
Some Observations on the Long-term Stability of Optical Flats
TL;DR: Two potential causes of instability in optical flats are considered in this article, and a number of experimental results are quoted in which significant changes of figure have occurred within periods of a few years Attempts to correlate these changes with birefringence measurements have met with limited success.
