Laser polishing(LP)is considered an effective method for generating ultrasmooth surfaces owing to its precision,flexibility,and material ***,a lack of understanding of the evolution of surface topography during LP significantly limits the achievable surface roughness in *** this work,for the first time,by employing optical time-stretch quantitative interferometry(OTS-QI),we recorded the entire evolution of surface topography during LP with nanosecond-level temporal resolution,providing insight into the mechanisms involved in the surface roughness evolution,such as the Marangoni effect and the formation mechanism of mid-frequency waviness(MFW).Assisted by numerical calculations,we reveal that a‘perfect polishing point’exists,i.e.,the optimal interaction time for LP at a specific laser power density,at which the surface roughness can be minimised without the formation of an MFW owing to the Marangoni effect and non-uniform *** OTS-QI system harnesses the rapid repetition rate of femtosecond lasers,achieving a remarkable measurement speed exceeding 100,000,000 times per second while preserving a measurement accuracy comparable to that of existing white light interferometers(WLIs),setting a new benchmark as the fastest recorded roughness *** addition to LP,the proposed method can be applied for real-time and in situ monitoring of many machining scenarios involving highly dynamic phenomena.
