Science of Optical
Finishing
Prof.
Stephen D. Jacobs
The group conducts work on optical finishing processes.
Currently they are studying how mechanics and chemistry
affect material removal and surface smoothing in polishing
optical glass. Experiments are carried out using the
magnetorheological finishing (MRF) process. Prof. Jacobs'
group and an international group of collaborators invented
MRF in the mid '90's, and the technology was successfully
spun off to form a local company, QED Technologies,
Inc., in 1997.
