This article presents an innovative approach to toolpath generation for ultraprecision machining of freeform optic surfaces based on the principle of Automatic Dynamics Analysis of Mechanical Systems. As components with freeform surfaces often have non-rotational symmetry, there are potential challenges facing their ultraprecision machining through single-point diamond turning, such as the projected points in complex large sag surfaces, which likely find it difficult to communicate with the control system and, thus, do not perform successfully. In ultraprecision machining, to achieve the highest performance in freeform surface resolution, the factors of dynamics, material and mechanical stiffness, frictions, tooling and accuracy of the servo component should be considered. The investigation is focused on an integrated approach and the associated scientific understanding of precision engineering design, ultraprecision machining and metrology of freeform surfaces as well as their application perspective. In this approach, the toolpath for very complex freeform surfaces can be generated using the Newton–Raphson method to solve the kinematics and dynamics equations of motion. The effect of friction and contact force are also investigated for accurate toolpath curve generation. Moreover, the Gear stiff (GSTIFF)/ Wielenga stiff (WSTIFF) integrator for solving the non-linear equations of motion is employed, and the result shows the time step size, playing a critical role in generating toolpath curves with a higher accuracy and resolution.

Concave aspheric surface with small curvature radius is difficult to fabricate by most of existing technologies. Ultrasonic- magnetorheological combined finishing (UMC) is a new technique for the ultraprecision machining of aspheric surfaces, especially for the ultrasmooth surfaces machining of small-radiuses concave surfaces and freeform surfaces. According to the characteristics of rotary symmetrical aspheric surface, path algorithms for UMC finishing have been developed. Propose and compare two kinds of polishing dwell time algorithms, and the derivation process and computer simulation result of the algorithms was also presented. The experiments using the control algorithm have been conducted, and the efficiency of algorithm is proved by experimental results.

ABSTRACTFerroelectric oxide films have been studied for their potential application as integrated optical materials and nonvolatile memories. Electro-optic properties of potassium niobate (KNbO3) thin films have been measured and the results correlated to the microstructures observed. The growth parameters necessary to obtain single phase perovskite lead zirconate titanate (PZT) thin films are discussed. Hysteresis and fatigue measurements of the PZT films were performed to determine their characteristics for potential memory devices.

The existing methods of information delivery to the strategic and tactical management of many government agencies are expensive, not always reliable and efficient. Therefore, quantum cryptographic systems (QCS) have been actively developed in recent years. However, there are problems with the use of the QCS associated with the reliability of information transfer. First, the existing fiber-optic communication channels (FOCC) are not designed to transmit single-photon signals, which leads to the complexity of their cryptographic protection. The second is insufficiently methodically developed calculation of energy losses and errors in the evaluation of the characteristics of information transfer in FOCC QCS. In article the analysis of the energy loss factors in the classical fiber-optic channel is carried out and the additive loss formula is discussed in detail. Then we consider the fiber-optic channel of quantum information transmission with the use of integrated optical devices. The additive formula of optical losses in such a channel is discussed. The features of losses in integrated optical devices are shown. The features of quantum cryptographic system of information transmission are considered. As a result, the model of FOCC QCS taking into account energy losses is presented, which allows competently in theoretical terms and visualize the passage of information through modern quantum cryptographically secure telecommunications while providing control in government structures.
