- Freeform-optics are commercially-vital, but challenging to manufacture. X. Su (Harbin Institute Technology) performed much of the reported work as our Academic Visitor, and published a collaborative paper in this Impact-3.56 journal. The work represents a step-change in fabricating freeforms, optimally combining in a unified process-chain, processes which normally compete:- HIT’s atmospheric pressure plasma processing (APPP) fast-generating the surface, and our bonnet polishing to preserve form and refine surface-texture. Mr Su won the China National Scholarship 2019 (16b908096@stu.hit.edu.cn) from this work and this process-chain has be confirmed as the key element in their inertial confinement fusion (ICF) project.
