Fine Diamonds With Laser Machining, by C. Paul Christensen
Of all materials, diamond is harder than any known solid, while also exhibiting the highest values for elastic modulus, atomic density, Debye temperature and thermal conductivity at room temperature. Diamond is chemically inert, and is highly transparent throughout a broad range of the optical spectrum. It is a wide bandgap semiconductor that may be useful at high temperatures or high voltages.

UV Lasers: Key Tools for Micromaching, by C. Paul Christensen
Many components used in modern products are getting smaller. Over the last three decades, features in integrated-circuit technology have been reduced in size by approximately two orders of magnitude, and micromotors as small as a human hair have been fabricated using photolithography.
