CHESS MAY 2014
• Visit scheduled for May 28th-Jun 2nd • Jlab to procure 10 large element6 crystals• Have (2) 4.5x4.5mm diamond samples out to Sinmat• UConn milled samples (including our inventory of 45 stones)

UPGRADES(software)
• LabView now runs sweeping raster• Moves beam across diamond’s
horizontal axis incrementing in y by 0.025mm
• A run takes about 19 minutes (2.6x2.6mm)
• Motor acceleration and backlash have been corrected for.

• Integrated Arduino based oscillator to control laser pulse train (50Hz)• Energy meter records laser
energy for each “line” of the diamond • All electronics are now
encased in aluminum shielding to protect the against large EMP produced by the laser
UPGRADES(electronics)

• Automatic beam aperture• Blocks beam whenever LabView program is not in
current use• Prevents accidental blemishes caused by misfires of
the laser• New 45° removable diamond chamber mount• Allows for easy removal and replacement from
ablation vacuum chamber• Keeps diamond in plane with axis of translation

• A new translation stage was purchased and added to the sharp focusing lens.• Allows for sub-micron
positioning (12mm overall travel)
• We can now “chase” the focus as we move farther into the diamond
• Can now back focus off when reaching <50µm critical thickness

Focal Study• Cutting rate and beam
profile highly dependent on being within the Rayleigh length. • Advanced the Z-axis
through the focal point while ablating on diamond• Zygo images reveal the
sharpest focus at 4.8mm (0.0mm farthest from chamber)

Measuring Thickness• Knowing how thick
your virgin sample is obviously important, but hasn’t been easy to do in the past.• Turn diamond
samples on edge and image their profiles using the Zygo

U300_25
• According to our measurements, this diamond was cut down 275µm. • Resulting in
an active area that is less than 25µm thick

Conclusions
• UConn will be heading down to CHESS in the upcoming week with samples from• Sinmat• Element 6• Uconn
• Major upgrades to the ablation facility have been made since the beginning of the Jlab contract
• The UConn laser ablation facility is producing diamonds with central region thicknesses of <25µm and <1µm surface variation
