Candidate Name: Eann Lawing Program: Mechanical Engineering Committee Chair: Matt Davies Com mittee Members: Glenn Boreman, Jimmie Miller, Youxing Chen Abstract: Transmissive infrared \(IR\) optics are manufactured from brittle materials such as single crystal germanium \(Ge\) and silicon \(Si\). Ultraprecision diamond machining with a negative rake diamond tool is the dominant manufacturing process for IR optical surfaces to achieve high optical surface quality. However, maintaining productivit
