  1. Freeform optical surfaces offer significant design opportunities but pose new challenges in metrology and manufacturing. Evolution in optics manufacturing processes have changed the surface spatial frequencies that must be measured. Optical surface definition is expected to be with respect to fiducials and datums which must be realizable at all stages of manufacture; uncertainty in that realization becomes important in some cases. Concurrent engineering is required, but appropriate data has not been collated for use by optical designers. One approach to providing such data is described.
