i remember reading one time that the russians had developed a laser process that could both cut and polish at the same time. Anyone know anything about that?

I know that a Russian company uses a hydrogen plasma process for making diamond blades. I am aware that an ultrafast laser can cut and produce a burnished finish on diamond, but that has been known for a few years. I don't think any Russians have developed anything better than that which is economical, or they would be using it in production, right?
