Silicon Mirrors are essential components for guiding the X-Ray beam and focusing it to a particular location. Due to lower X-ray wavelength, these mirrors require super smooth surface finish to avoid the strong scattering from surface. Single Point Diamond Turning is used to examine the fabrication possibility of X-Ray mirror. A number of machining cuts are performed with parameters like tool feed rate, Spindle Speed and depth of cut. The surface is characterized by mechanical profiler, optical profiler, Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The optimized surface roughness achieved is 0.873 nm.

Subsurface Damage (SSD), which is introduced to optical materials by diamond turning processes, affects the performance in optical, laser and infrared applications. For optical applications, SSD can be the source of component instability (e.g., surface stress) and flaw. The objective of the present study is to investigate the subsurface damage in silicon. Interferometry and Raman Spectroscopy are used to detect the surface finish and SSD. The surface roughness of 0.243 nm is achieved at best combination. A sharp Raman shift at 409 cm-1 is obtained, which reveals that a thin layer of Silicon has transformed to amorphous state resulting in subsurface damages. Copyright © 2017 VBRI Press.
