ABSTRACTCharacteristics of ArF excimer laser induced 1.9 eV emission and 5.8 eV absorption bands in type III and soot remelted silicas were investigated. In a type III silica synthesized in a reducing condition, an absorption band at 5.8 eV band is induced. The creation of this band can be prevented by annealing in an atmosphere of He. In the soot remelted silicas with and without OH, the creation of the 5.8 eV band is strongly promoted by annealing in H2. An emission band at 1.9 eV is induced in a type III fused silica synthesized in an oxydizing condition and soot remelted silica containing OH. When annealing in He, creation of the 1.9 eV band is strongly promoted in the former but suppressed in the latter sample. This difference is derived from the difference of higher order structures between the type III and the soot remelted silicas.

ABSTRACTA Fluorocarbon resin surface was selectively modified by irradiation with a ArF laser beam through a thin layer of NaAlO2, B(OH)3, or H2O solution to give a hydrophilic property. As a result, with low fluence, the surface was most effectively modified with the NaAlO2 solution among the three solutions. However, the contact angle in this case changed by 10 degrees as the fluence changed only 1mJ/cm2. When modifying a large area of the surface, high resolution displacement could not be achieved because the laser beam was not uniform in displacing functional groups. Thus, the laser fluence was successfully made uniform by homogenizing the laser beam; the functional groups were replaced on the fluorocarbon resin surface with high resolution, which was successfully modified to be hydrophilic by distributing the laser fluence uniformly.
