This involves argon ion milling and subsequent gas clustered ion beam smoothening. We have fabricated and characterized ultra-low loss waveguides with this technique, with propagation losses as low as 0.3 dB/cm at 1.55 µm.

The high power optical microscope allows the user to position a sample to within a few microns of the precise cross section position. During milling, the sample is rocked automatically to avoid creating beam striations on the cross sectioned surface. Due to the glancing incidence of the ion beam, argon is not implanted into the sample surface.

Milling Time. Using the PIPS II system, the Ar ion beam is well focused at low energies (~1 mm FWHM). The current density at the milling area is also high, resulting in a high rate of material removal. Milling time should therefore be optimized to remove sufficient material to enhance sample quality without over-thinning the sample.
