Abstract
Frequent hand-polishing of infrared-cell windows, particularly the softer materials such as cesium iodide and bromide, can easily result in a convex surface and a wedge shape instead of flat, parallel sides. A simple jig has been used in this laboratory for some time to prevent this occurrence during grinding of the crystal blanks and polishing to final finish.
This work was supported by the Materials Laboratory, Research and Technology Division, U. S. Air Force, under contract.
