Abstract
In the etching of glasses using a cw CO2 laser, visible plasmas are always generated whenever removal is measurable. The emission sources include the plasma plume, the hot spot on the sample, and a plasma image reflected by the etched surface. Utilizing a diaphragm in an intermediate image plane of the light collecting system, we measured spectra for different portions of the combined emission sources.
