Abstract: A method of fabricating an optical material includes providing input materials having a material softening temperature, melting the input materials, and flowing the melted input materials onto a laser inclusion mitigation system. The melted input materials comprise one or more inclusions. The method also includes irradiating the input materials using a laser beam, fragmenting the one or more inclusions in response to the irradiating, and reducing a temperature of the input materials to less than the material softening temperature. The method further includes forming an optical material and annealing the optical material.

Abstract: A method of finishing an optical element includes mounting the optical element in an optical mount having a plurality of fiducials overlapping with the optical element and obtaining a first metrology map for the optical element and the plurality of fiducials. The method also includes obtaining a second metrology map for the optical element without the plurality of fiducials, forming a difference map between the first metrology map and the second metrology map, and aligning the first metrology map and the second metrology map. The method further includes placing mathematical fiducials onto the second metrology map using the difference map to form a third metrology map and associating the third metrology map to the optical element. Moreover, the method includes mounting the optical element in the fixture in an MRF tool, positioning the optical element in the fixture; removing the plurality of fiducials, and finishing the optical element.
