| Title: |
Gobo Frosted or Etched Using a Pico-Second or Femto-Second Laser |
| Abstract: |
A gobo used to project an image by selectively transmitting and blocking light includes a blank made of transparent material. There is an etched or frosted area on the surface of the blank having a surface morphology characterized by micro-pyramids, which may be produced using a pico-second or femto-second laser. The micro-pyramids cause micro-lensing to occur when the gobo is in use, thereby rendering the etched or frosted area fully opaque and cause the gobo to produce a sharp projected image. |
