Abstract
A review of recent progress in optical recording of surface relief structures in the films of amorphous chalcogenides is presented. Various aspects related to light-driven macroscopic effects for these materials (changes in solubility, local evaporation, volume changes, mass-transport and so on) where stimulated surface patterning takes place due to the interaction of matter with light are discussed. Experimental data describing different aspects of surface relief patterning using direct recording by tigtly focused single or structured light beams are summarized.
