20200283325 · 2020-09-10 ·

A method for processing a transparent workpiece includes forming a closed contour in the transparent workpiece. The closed contour includes a plurality of defects in the transparent workpiece and has a rectilinear shape. Forming the closed contour includes directing a pulsed laser beam through an aspheric optical element and into the transparent workpiece to generate an induced absorption within the transparent workpiece and produce a defect within the transparent workpiece. Forming the closed contour also includes translating the pulsed laser beam focal line along a closed contour line having the rectilinear shape, thereby laser forming the plurality of defects of the closed contour. In addition, the method for processing the transparent workpiece includes etching the transparent workpiece with a chemical etching solution to separate a portion of the transparent workpiece along the closed contour, thereby forming an aperture extending through the transparent workpiece.

Multi-focus optics

Methods, systems, devices and apparatus for laser processing of transparent or partially transparent materials by focusing laser radiation on a surface of a material workpiece or inside the material workpiece and creating elongated processed regions with variable and controlled depth using focusing optical system with air-spaced optical components, forming three or more multiple focuses along the optical axis and compensating aberrations induced while light focusing inside the material workpiece. The focusing optical system can have an aplanatic design, with lenses made from birefringent materials combined with lenses from isotropic materials, or objectives, or zoom optical system, or waveplates. Material processing effects such as material disruption or modification of material properties are produced due to the interaction of focused laser radiation with material in elongated volume processed regions and are multiple repeated along the processing path by relative motion between the material workpiece and the focusing optical system being realized with a scanning device.

USER DEFINED INTENSITY PROFILE LASER BEAM

A high-power laser beam with an arbitrary intensity profile is produced. Such beam has a variety of uses including for laser materials processing such as powder bed fusion additive manufacturing. Several challenges in additive manufacturing are mitigated with the present non-uniform intensity laser profiles. Nonuniform shapes include a set of intensity pixels in a line that could print a wide stripe area instead of just a single line. One example uses the multimode interference pattern from the output of a ribbon fiber which is imaged onto a work piece. The interference pattern is controlled to allow turning on or off of pixels along a line which can be used to shape the beam and form the additively manufactured part.
