The Usage Of Laser In The Glass Industry: Engraving, Decorations, Scribing And Cutting

At very high laser intensities that can be achieved with modern, diode-pumped solid-state lasers with high beam quality and high pulse power, transparent materials such as glass can be easily machined with high efficiency, speed and precision. Examples are given by sub-surface engraving, cutting and drilling of the glass, The Innoslab-laser in particular, offers huge potential for the economical application of these processes at large lot sizes, due to its unique combination of high beam quality, short pulse, high peak, compact size and high average power.
