Abstract
A recipe is given for the polishing of precise surfaces on crystals of bismuth silicate (BSO) and bismuth germanate (EGO). Using this recipe , crystals having surface figure better than 2/10 wave, roughness of 2 0-50 Angstrom rms, and laser quality parallelism (10 arcsec or better) were obtained with about 1-2 hours effort.
