Abstract
Over the years, femtosecond laser-assisted etching (FLAE) gained a lot of fame as process, especially for glass. This is due to its peculiar characteristics, such as (i) the non-thermal interaction with the material, that minimizes collateral damage and prevents heat from spreading to surrounding areas, which is essential for applications requiring micron- or nano-scale precision; (ii) the capability of manufacturing three-dimensional freeform components; (iii) the compatibility with a wide range of substrates, making the process suitable for several industrial and research applications. This thesis work focuses on Ultra-Low Expansion (ULE) and D263T glass, respectively a titanium-doped silicate and a borosilicate glass, chosen for their unique properties and widespread applications in fields such as optics, electronics, and microfabrication.
Specifically, the aim is the optimization of the FLAE processes, focusing on recipes to be used in industrial manufacturing context for components production, with the presentation of case study to demonstrate their effectiveness
