4^th UPOB - High Level Expert Meeting (HLEM) 2010 -

Asphere Metrology
Joint Investigation

Info:    flyer     program    German Version

 Aspheres - whether as an aid for poor eyesight, in mobile phones or large optics - are in use all around us. As widespread their applications are, as difficult it is to produce or to measure them precisely. This is revealed by today's practise, where sometimes large measurement uncertainties emerge.

Focal points of the Expert Meeting:

• What is the state of the art today?
• Which procedures have which advantages?
• Are there new approaches to improve existing techniques significantly?
• In which direction should new developments be supported?

Questions like the ones above can be addressed by experts only. The High-Level Expert Meeting, organised by the Kompetenzzentrum Ultrapräzise Oberflächenbearbeitung (CC UPOB e.V.), i.e. the competence centre for ultra-precise surface figuring, aims to bring together these experts from industry and research, developers and users to start the dialogue.

Theoretical papers introduce in asphere metrology. Two selected aspheres were investigated by fourteen companies and institutes.
