Abstract Basic processing operations will be presented. These include diamond polishing and shaping, production of conductive pathways, micro‐ and nanostructures on the diamond surface, such as diffractive optical elements. The possibility to laser produce conductive and hollow structures in the diamond bulk, including curved elements, will be demonstrated. Finally, the techniques of laser assisted diamond CVD, that allow production of smooth or selective‐area grown films will be presented
