The separation of complex inner and outer contours glass articles with curved surfaces using ultrashort pulsed lasers is reported. Single-pass, full-thickness modifications along the entire substrate are achieved a processing optics that allows for beam shaping non-diffracting beams and, additionally, aberration compensation phase distortions occurring at interface. finally separated by thermal...

1 The Optima XL-I integrates both absorbance and interference optics on a single instrument; the Optima XL-A has absorbance optics only. 2 This optical system is called by a variety of names (Rayleigh optics, interference optics, and refractive optics). The names can be used interchangeably but it will be referred to here as Rayleigh interference optics. Choosing Which Optical System of the Opt...
