  • Author: Jim Bovatsek, Dr. Rajesh S. Patel
Higher-power and higher-beam-quality lasers continue to emerge on the marketplace, and industry continues to find new uses for them. In particular, glass processing has garnered much attention in recent years. Common tasks such as cutting, grooving, milling and drilling are routinely performed in various types of glass and with various types of lasers. More advanced processes such as annealing, welding and refractive index modification – for waveguide and diffractive optical element fabrication, for example – are also being explored. Markets and applications using such processes are quite varied, ranging from the routine to the exotic; and they will undoubtedly grow and diversify as industries discover more about what lasers can do in terms of noncontact structuring of glass.
