Fused silica is widely used in aerospace and precision integrated micro-optical sensors due to its high hardness, low coefficient of thermal expansion, high transmittance properties and high chemical stability in harsh environments. Due to the amorphous characteristics, fused silica wet etching is isotropic and cannot realize specific structural functional devices; dry etching process is complex, costly, and relatively low productivity. These characteristics make the processing of fused silica extremely difficult, with high cost and low yield. Femtosecond laser processing has been widely used in the processing of complex and fine three-dimensional structure of fused silica due to its wide adaptability of materials, high degree of processing fineness and non-mask processing technology, but the surface of the processed surface is relatively rough. Fine micro-optical devices can be realized by wet-assisted femtosecond laser processing. In this study, microstructural patterns were fabricated on fused silica using a tightly focused femtosecond laser by means of a self-developed ultrafast laser processing instrumentation. By controlling the laser processing parameters and the etching time of HF solution to realize the precise modulation of linewidth, period and height of the grating, one/two dimensional gratings, and the Fresnel zone plates with circular and elliptical focal points and the biomimetic compound eye microlens array were successfully fabricated. Finally, the performance of the fabricated optical components were characterized, which were comparable to theoretical simulation values. The results show that the total diffraction efficiency of the fused silica gratings fabricated using this method reaches 85.5%; the Fresnel zone plates and the bionic compound eye microlens array have good focusing effects. This study provides a reference method for the fine micromachining of hard materials such as fused silica, and provides a theoretical basis for its engineering application.

Laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) termed an effective technique to confirm the elemental composition of geologic, due to its unique elemental ‘fingerprint’ properties and qualitative or quantitative analytical performance. However, the low focusing accuracy and poor spatial resolution of traditional LIBS technology limits its application in minerals with complex topography. To address this issue, we constructed a confocal controlled LIBS (CCLIBS) microscope for three-dimensional elemental mapping of natural minerals. The CCLIBS system is an innovative fusion of confocal microscopy and LIBS technology, which significantly improves the spatial resolution and the stability of LIBS spectrum. With this system, the geometry and elemental distribution of natural agate ores are accurately obtained. Then, a common chemometric method of principal component analysis (PCA) was conducted to analyse the differences in such spectral lines. According to the differences of wavelength and intensity characteristics, the typical spectra were selected to map the elemental distribution. Finally, the three elements with the highest PC scores were selected to construct the multi-element fusion mapping, which can reflect the distribution of elements more intuitively. In this paper, we innovatively integrate three-dimensional (3D) morphology with multi-element distribution to characterize the spatial distribution of elements. Compared with single-element fusion, multi-element fusion is more intuitive and clearer, which is of great significance for the analysis of complex components of natural minerals. To solve the problems of low focusing accuracy and poor spatial resolution of traditional LIBS technology, we constructed a confocal controlled LIBS microscope for three-dimensional elemental mapping of natural minerals. The microscope is an innovative fusion of confocal microscopy and LIBS technology, which significantly improves the spatial resolution and stability of spectrum, ensuring that the system can achieve minimal ablation at focal point. Furthermore, we integrate three-dimensional (3D) morphology with multi-element distribution to characterize the spatial distribution of elements. The innovative method provides an effective way for elemental characterization in the fields of biomedicine, materials science and geological science.
