Femtosecond Laser Micromachining of High Quality Groove on Sapphire Surface

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, high quality grooves were fabricated by femtosecond laser pulse on sapphire surface. Grooves were fabricated under different experimental conditions. The lateral and vertical machining precision was evaluated by scanning electron microscopy and profilometer. High quality grooves could be obtained at the condition of low pulse energy, high scanning-speed and increasing the number of laser scans. The relationship between the width and depth of the groove and the key parameters of femtosecond laser micromachining system was studied. Several samples of the high quality grooves were obtained by femtosecond laser pulses. High quality grooves have a potential application of the fabrication of sapphire-based devices.
