There is abrasive entrained in the fluid stream. Operation is in the ductile
grinding regime so fluid pressures are around 6 bar or so, way below that used
in abrasive water jet cutting.
It has been used to machine/polish crystal quartz waveplates and to
machine/polish the surface of silicon wa
Hi
Anything like a laser that generates heat to do the “work” will twin the
quartz.
Once you do that, it’s pretty much useless as a resonator. The same issue
gets you in trouble trying to wire bond to a resonator.

How fast to laser blasters work and/or how much do they damage the crystal?

These are my opinions. I hate spam.
Hi
Unfortunately ( at the rates you must use) the “blast it with a fire hose”
approach
is not very fast…..

Fluid jet polishing perhaps?
At least on fused quartz and optical glass there is no associated subsurface
damage.

Hi
If you try “normal” machining techniques on a resonator, you are very
likely to create micro cracks in the material. Those are *really* bad for
aging and a few other issues ….. Much of the normal production flow of the
quartz is designed to keep the processes like sawing far enough away

Hi
Back when the BVA was up for sale, by far the biggest issue was the machining
involved
in making those slots. They don’t just have to be slots. They have to be very
precise. Etching
will not do the trick. Neither will most machining processes. Electrode shape
changes have

Hi,
The slots and thus the remaining bridges seems to have been a relatively
simple stage of the process. Orientation of the blank seems to have been
simple. The shapes for the electrodes seems to have been worse.

Hi
The “BVA” part of the name refers to the slots machined into the crystal blank
to manage the mounting stress on the resonator. Both the “plated on the blank”
and the “electrodes off blank” versions are legit BVA approaches. Indeed the
electrode off the blank version is the more expensive (and

I do not know the HSO-14, but when I asked what the 8607 costs new, I
got ~5000 CHF for the "lowest" grade and over 14k CHF for
13 matches
