Processing diamond surfaces in the rough

Key Points

• To evaluate how femtosecond laser processing affects the properties of diamond surfaces, particularly hydrophilicity and defect rates.
• Used femtosecond lasers to process diamond surfaces.
• Measured the hydrophilicity of treated surfaces.
• Assessed defect rates resulting from the laser processing.
• Higher laser processing improves hydrophilicity.
• Increased hydrophilicity is associated with a higher defect rate.
• There exists a trade-off between enhancing surface properties and minimizing defects.
