No such thing as σ: flowdown and measurement of surface roughness requirements

Abstract: The standard use of the parameter σ for the rms surface roughness of optics has obscured the fact that the effective surface roughness is a function of both the measurement wavelength and bandwidth. A more appropriate method for the flowdown of surface specifications from stray light requirements is presented. Acceptance test methods for validating surface properties of optics using a Zygo NewView Profilometer are also discussed.

“…After repeated discussions and admonitions by Church [6,16], Church and Takacs [17][18], Stover [19], Germer and Asmail [20], Dittman [21][22] and others; most of the optical surface metrology community is aware that when we associate surface roughness with scattered light, we must specify the spatial frequency band-limits of the effective roughness that is relevant to the particular scattering application. In other words, we must replace the total or intrinsic rms roughness, σ, with the relevant bandlimited rms roughness, rel σ , in Eqs.…”
