Figuring of optical aluminium devices by reactive ion beam etching

Ion beam figuring (IBF) is an established method in high-end surface manufacturing. However, the direct processing of desired materials as standard Al alloys (e.g. Al6061)fails, since the surface roughness increases drastically as a result of inhomogeneous etching due to structural, crystallographic...
