Abstract:
The paper describes the results of investigating the behavior of LDW glasses in a wide range of scanning speeds of the writing laser beam. The article considers the peculiarities of production of halftone photomasks on a laser recording system with circular scanning. The authors discuss the results of application of halftone photomasks for fabrication of high-performance diffractive lenses.
