Paper Abstract
Optics for telescopes - on ground and in space - is getting more and more into complex geometries. Weight reduction
and new materials together with aspherical shape and off-axis set-ups increase the need for deterministic processes. With
the advent of free-form surfaces having no symmetry at all, a new chapter for fabrication issues is opened.
This paper describes our current achievements to combine different fabrication and measurement technologies to cope
with the increasing demand in precision and complexity. We will explain our fabrication approach covering the full
range from the raw material to the coated and measured component. Several examples of current and recent projects are
shown. The variety of materials used ranges from Zerodur® to SiC.
