METHODS FOR LASER PROCESSING TRANSPARENT MATERIAL USING PULSED LASER BEAM FOCAL LINES

Abstract:

A method for processing a transparent workpiece includes forming a first contour line, comprising a first plurality of defects, in the transparent workpiece; forming a second contour line, comprising a second plurality of defects, in the transparent workpiece, wherein the second contour line defines a second contour intersecting the first contour line at an intersection point, wherein the laser pulse energy of the second pulsed laser beam is increased from a first laser pulse energy to a second laser pulse energy at a first distance from the intersection point; and wherein the laser pulse energy of the second pulsed laser beam is decreasing from the second laser pulse energy to the first laser pulse energy at a second distance from the intersection point.
