ARI: Acquisition of Instrumentation for Optical and Mechanical Surface Characterization

小行星9512171 该奖项为北卡罗来纳州州立大学精密工程中心提供资金，用于购买两台测量仪器。 拟购买的设备包括一台RTH Form Talysurf机械轮廓仪，其垂直范围为6 mm，分辨率为10 nm;以及一套光学轮廓仪系统，由Zyro Maxim GP/New View 100表面分析仪和GPIxps激光干涉仪组成，其视野为2 mm，分辨率为1A，垂直范围为100微米。 精密工程中心在高科技精密制造领域开展研究和教育学生。 在该设施进行的研究包括光学，电子和机械设备的测量和制造，其中需要高精度。 项目包括金刚石车削和陶瓷和玻璃表面的制造。 这些仪器将改善一些正在进行的项目的研究，这些项目涉及玻璃和陶瓷材料的光学和结构部件，用于红外光学的脆性材料的金刚石图灵，用于工具涂层和摩擦表面的金刚石膜的表面光洁度和磨损的测量，以及用于电子和光电球面光学的旋转非对称表面的测量。

9512171 Dow This award provides funding to acquire two measuring instruments at the Precision Engineering Center at North Carolina State University. The equipment to be purchased includes an RTH Form Talysurf mechanical profilometer with an extended vertical range of 6mm and a resolution of 10nm, and an optical profilometer system consisting of a Zyro Maxim GP/New View 100 Surface Analyzer and a GPIxps Laser Interferometer with a 2 mm field of view and 1A resolution over a 100 micron vertical range. The Precision Engineering Center conducts research and educates students in the area of high-technology precision manufacturing. Research conducted at the facility encompasses measurement and fabrication of optical, electronic, and mechanical devices where high precision is required. Projects include diamond turning and the fabrication of ceramic and glass surfaces. These instruments will improve research on a number of ongoing projects ilvolving optical and structural components in glass and ceramic materials, diamond Turing of brittle materials for infrared optics, measurement of surface finish and wear of diamond films for tool coatings and tribological surfaces, and measurement of rotationally asymmetric surfaces for electronic and optoelectronic spherical optics.
