Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Nano-micro scratch machining on the optical fiber end-plane was conducted by Atomic force micro-scope. The machining was done with a AFM tip which can be assumed to a nano-shape cutting edge of an abrasive, and with the machining load which is controlled by the AFM cantilever system. Tip driving by AFM system is enabling to use a well-defined trajectory. This nano-micro machining is thought to reveals the elementary-step of the polishing whose mechanism has not been well-understood yet. The optical fiber for telecommunication used in our experiments is made of silica (SiO2) glass with high purity. Chemical aspects of polishing also can be investigated by the cutting edge material and the scratching atmosphere changing.
