The manufacture of complex aspheric optical surfaces is limited by the ability to measure them. The mirrors in giant telescopes that are now operational on mountaintops and space were enabled by advances in measurement technology including applications of computer generated holograms (CGHs). These measurement techniques are now used to guide the finishing of a wide range of complex surfaces and optical systems. This talk follows the story of specialized measurement technologies that grew up as university research to a mature state where they have become commonplace in industry.

Jim Burge AOM & UofA


Jim Burge is President of Arizona Optical Metrology (AOM), a company started in 2009 that manufactures CGHs and incorporates them into measurement equipment, and Professor Emeritus of Optics and Astronomy at University of Arizona.

Dr. Burge earned a BS in Engineering Physics from Ohio State University, and began his career as a mechanical engineer building stabilized platforms for optical systems. He then went to the University of Arizona to study optical systems and work as a research scientist for the astronomy department while earning a PhD. in optics. He later became a Professor of Optical Sciences at University of Arizona, where he led the development of measurement systems used to characterize the mirrors and lenses for the world’s most powerful telescopes.

Dr. Burge currently leads AOM to develop custom metrology systems many based on CGHs. He is a Fellow of SPIE and Optica, and 2011 recipient of the OSA Fraunhofer-Burley award which recognizes significant accomplishments in the field of optical engineering.
