Curt Maxey is a Technical Consultant at Curt Maxey Technologies. Colleagues describe him as "Curt and I tested a diamond turned parabola with a CGH null at ORNL back in 1994. I had just started Diffraction International to make CGH nulls and had no interferometer and no aspheres. We published a paper on it. I also recall that Curt had a quick and clever approach to aligning a parabola null test with a corner cube as the temporary return flat. We used that as a cross test."
