摘要
High surface quality of the optical elements is one of the key factors enabling their effective application in high power laser systems. In our work, commercially polished undoped YAG crystals were etched using low energy oxygen plasma. Surface roughness and optical properties were investigated using two different etching depths. Obtained results demonstrate smoothing of initial crystal surface and 1-4 % decrease of transmittance within UV-VIS spectral range.
