Abstract
The process of "closing the loop" in a design process relates to the flow of quantitative data regarding lens or mirror performance among all engineers involved in the production of an optical system. Recent developments in applied optics have made this a computerized process. The history and significance of the process is described, with stress placed on the automation of interferometric lens or mirror test methods.
