Properties and Wet Etching Properties of Fused Silica Glass for HRG

Fused silica glass is the key material of hemispheric resonant gyroscope (HRG). In view of the fused silica glass used in HRG and the process of spherical shell wet etching thinning, the comparison of performance for different types of fused silica glass are displayed. In addition, the subsurface defects and morphological changes of fused silica glass during wet etching process are also analyzed in this paper. The results show that the morphology and the size of subsurface damage in fused silica glass changes during wet etching, which has a great influence on the uniform etching of fused silica glass. Based on the above research results, the material selection of HRG and the wet etching process of spherical shell are given.
