Application of atmospheric pressure plasma polishing method in machining of silicon ultra-smooth surfaces

Abstract

The modern optics industry demands rigorous surface quality with minimum defects, which presents challenges to optics machining technologies. There are always certain defects on the final surfaces of the components formed in convent
