Abstract
The effect of laser cutting on the structure of a chemical vapor depos ited diamond film has been investigated by cathodoluminescence (CL) in the scanning electron microscope. The variation of particle morpholog y and CL spectra as a function of the distance to the cutting edge is described and possible laser induced structural changes are discussed. At the damaged region total CL emission increases and nitrogen-vacanc y centers are detected. (C) 1995 American Institute of Physics.
