Abstract:The state of grinding process of optical window was summarized. Then the polishing and cleaning mechanisms and main process parameters were analyzed. By taking into consideration of such factors as ambient condition, grinding material, the pH value and concentration of polishing slurry, rotating speed and stress of muller, lots of experiments were carried out. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) was used to detect the optical window surface before and after applying the modified polishing process. It is shown that the surface defects and roughness are obviously improved and the rate of zero standard surface defects reaches to 23%.
