PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a surface processing method of a glass material, by which a processing time can be reduced to improve productivity as well as the finish surface can be made more smooth. SOLUTION: The surface processing method of a glass material includes, upon forming a silica glass formed article 2 by grinding, a surface processing step of fusing the surface of the silica glass formed article 2 by irradiating the article with a laser beam 21 having a linear width and a predetermined acute inclination angleθwith respect to the surface of the glass formed article 2. Thereby, the surface of the glass formed article can be made smooth by fusion of the surface caused by short-time laser irradiation. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT
