Abstract

See full text

A method of laser processing a heat processed transparent material is disclosed wherein the heat processed transparent material includes a top compressive layer, a bottom compressive layer, and a tensile layer between the top compressive layer and the bottom compressive layer. A laser beam includes a burst of laser pulses or a single laser pulse which is externally focussed relative to the heat processed transparent material to form a beam waist at a first location external to the heat processed transparent material avoiding formation of a plasma channel external to the heat processed transparent material. The laser pulses or pulse are focused such that a sufficient energy density is maintained within the bottom compressive layer of the heat processed transparent material to form continuous laser filaments in the top and bottom compressive layers therein without causing optical breakdown. The laser filaments do not extend into the tensile layer.
