Abstract
Abstract A method of preparing transparent artworks by forming a predetermined topological relief pattern by way of local layer-by-layer removal of the material on the side of the masking layer which is translucent to actinic radiation, with concurrent measurement of the optical phase difference between actinic light rays passing through the masking layer and a substrate transparent to actinic light, until the geometrical relief of the pattern becomes deep enough to ensure the required optical phase difference which is a multiple of 2π.

A method of preparing transparent artworks comprising the following steps: taking a substrate transparent to actinic light; forming, in the near surface portion of said substrate, a masking layer translucent to said actinic light; and making a predetermined topological relief pattern by way of local layer-to-layer removal of the material on the side of said masking layer with concurrent measurement of the optical phase difference between actinic light rays passing through said masking layer and transparent portion of said artwork, until the geometrical relief of said pattern becomes deep enough to ensure said optical phase difference which is a multiple of 2π.
