  • First Online:

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Materials Science ((SSMATERIALS,volume 195))

Abstract

Local laser oxidation of thin metal films allows recording of an optical image on thin films with the highest resolution and high productivity at the same time, and without distortions specific to laser ablation. A technique for writing of diffractive optical elements was developed on the basis of this process. Laser-matter interaction physics and laser technology underlying this method are described in this chapter.

Notes

  1. 1.

    The reader can now carry out this experiment independently; we repeated it 40 years later (1968–2008) and obtained the same result; however, this time a micrograph was taken with a high-magnification microscope (see Fig. 7.1).
