Abstract

The origin of oscillations observed in laser direct writing of W lines on quartz substrates is studied on the basis of a one-dimensional model. The dependence of oscillations on laser power, scanning velocity, etc., is discussed. The predictions are compared with experimental data. The present approach can be applied also to other systems, where such oscillations have a different origin.
