摘要
The chemical reaction of a solid surface with a surrounding gas is accelerated by local heating with a laser beam. Under suitable conditions, the surface remains smooth while material is removed by the chemical process. Experiments show that optical surfaces of glasses can be figured to provide fine structures using laser-enhanced reactions with hydrogen fluoride gas. Theoretical considerations predict control of the shape of the surfaces and a high spatial resolution for the inscription of arbitrary structures. © 1978.
