Abstract

Using a small polisher with a specific movement to figure the optical surface under the control of a personal computer not only can one locally figure the surface precisely to improve the image quality of optical elements but also can figure the aspherical surface, beginning with the closest spherical surface, if the departure between these two surfaces is not large.
