K. Chen et al., GENERATION OF SUBMICRON SURFACE GRATINGS ON LINBO3 BY ULTRASHORT UV LASER-PULSES, Applied physics A: Materials science & processing, 65(4-5), 1997, pp. 517-518
Ablation of submicron surface structures on LiNbO3 by short ultraviole
t laser pulses (0.5 ps, 248 nm) is presented. Gratings with a period o
f 360 nm and a modulation depth of 80 nm are fabricated on the sample
surface by single-laser-shot exposure. The structures are projection i
maged by a Schwarzschild objective in air. The modulation depth can be
varied by applying multiple-pulse exposure.
