- Additional information
- This study the ability to modify important surface properties glass substrates with a laser. The properties investigated are topographical roughness, wetting, and gloss (a measure of reflectivity). This is an important achievement, as glass is known to fracture under physical stresses so any method that manipulates these properties whilst maintaining the integrity may allow for a wider range of commercial uses. Most importantly, this process has demonstrated the production of clear, clean features with high processing speeds and high laser power.
