Laser ablation of an organic solute for micro-fabrication of transparent materials

摘要

Transparent materials such as quartz materials are difficult to fabricate by conventional laser processing using a nanosecond UV laser because these materials have no significant absorption at the laser wavelength. We report a novel micron-size fabrication of the materials by laser ablation technique using a organic liquid layer attached on the backside of the target materials. We also discussed the mechanism for the micro-fabrication in terms of a heating process and a chemical reaction process.
