Abstract: A finishing and coating apparatus combines finishing and coating optical components into one vacuum apparatus. The apparatus includes a vacuum system, a substrate holder, a finisher including a laser engine and a beam delivery apparatus, and a coating source. The finisher is configured to finish the optical components prior to coating the optical components. The finisher includes a laser engine and a laser beam delivery apparatus configured to direct a beam from the laser engine toward each of the optical components.

Abstract: A finishing and coating apparatus is configured for power polishing optical components. The apparatus includes a housing, a substrate holder, a vacuum pump system, a laser, and a coating source. The housing defines a chamber and the substrate holder is disposed within the chamber and configured to hold one or more optical components. The vacuum pump system is configured to create a vacuum within the chamber. The laser includes a laser engine and a laser beam delivery apparatus configured to direct a beam from the laser engine toward the one or more optical components. The laser is configured to finish the one or more optical components prior to coating the one or more optical components.
