The photosensitivity in UV-range of some glasses can be used for micro structuring. The irradiated areas crystallize after a thermal treatment. Microstructures are achieved by wet-chemical etching of the crystallized areas. Interactions between UV-laser radiation of different wavelength and the photosensitive glass are investigated. The relationship between process parameters and geometry of microstructures is examined
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
