    - Round-robin measurements of the toroidal window
      
      Posted: April 2, 2020
      
      Free-form surfaces are quickly becoming a desired and necessary shape for many refractive and reflective optical
      systems. Some examples of free-form shapes are toroids, ogives, and other conformal windows. In this paper, we will discuss the round-robin study of surface irregularity measurements of a free-form toroidal window
