Abstract
A system for cutting a substrate that is transparent within a predetermined range of wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum is provided that includes: a laser capable of emitting light along a light path and of a predetermined wavelength that is within the range of wavelengths in which the substrate is transparent; an optical element positioned in the light path of the laser such that the laser in conjunction with the optical element is capable of generating induced nonlinear absorption within at least a portion of the substrate; and an interface block composed of a material that is transparent over at least a portion of the predetermined range of wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum in which the substrate is also transparent. The interface block is positioned in the light path and between the substrate and the optical element. Further, the substrate will include an edge when extracted from a sheet.
