Photonics West standards meetings were very constructive. We made more progress on the new wavefront standards, OP1.004 and OP1.005, thanks to the hard work of Peter Takacs (BNL) and Chris Evans (Zygo). At the surface imperfection meeting, we reviewed measurements by Davidson Optronics on the illumination fixture, D-667-11, and I gave a presentation on Scratch and Dig instrumentation. We also approved OP1.110-1 and OP1.110-10 for submittal to ANSI, which means the adoption of ISO 10110 as an American National Standard is immanent. We had a great presentation by Rick Youngworth (Lightcapture) on default specifications, and by Allen Krisoloff (Triptar) on optical glass standards. And I gave a presentation on Scratch and Dig instrumentation. Very exciting! Check out the news on OEOSC's webpage, or contact me for more info.
