Optics and photonics — Preparation of drawings for optical elements and systems — Part 8: Surface texture ISO 10110-8:2019

Publication date:   Nov 15, 2019

Scope

This document specifies rules for the indication of the surface texture of optical elements, in the ISO 10110 series, which standardizes drawing indications for optical elements and systems. Surface texture is the characteristic of a surface that can be effectively described with statistical methods. Typically, surface texture is associated with high spatial frequency errors (roughness) and mid-spatial frequency errors (waviness).
This document is primarily intended for the specification of polished optics.
This document describes a method for characterizing the residual surface that is left after detrending by subtracting the surface form. The control of the surface form specified in ISO 10110-5, ISO 10110-12, and ISO 10110-19 is not specified in this document.
