Abstract

A new scheme for the control of the phase of the optical component using laser ablation has been developed. The surface shape of optical plastic coated on a glass plate is ablated using 193 nm laser light to control the transmission wave front. The surface shape is monitored fluence is about 45 mJ/cm², and the ablation depth per pulse is about 0.01 micrometers per pulse. Flat and spherical surfaces are generated using this method to reach the wave front distortion of 0.2 (lambda) . Micro-lenses for the control of the beam profile of the laser diode has been tried.
