Abstract: A method for processing a transparent workpiece that includes directing a laser beam output by a beam source onto a phase-adjustment device such that the laser beam downstream the phase-adjustment device is an Airy beam and directing the Airy beam onto a surface of the transparent workpiece. The Airy beam forms an Airy beam focal region in the transparent workpiece, the Airy beam of the Airy beam focal region having a maximum intensity of 100 TW/cm2 or less, the Airy beam of the Airy beam focal region induces absorption in the transparent workpiece, the induced absorption producing a curved defect in the transparent workpiece.

Abstract: Prism coupling systems and methods for characterizing curved parts are disclosed. A coupling surface of a coupling prism is interfaced to the curved outer surface of the curved part to define a coupling interface. Measurement light is directed through the coupling prism and to the interface, wherein the measurement light has a width of 3 mm or less. TE and TM mode spectra reflected from the interface are digitally captured. These mode spectra are processed to determine at least one characteristic of the curved part, such as the stress profile, compressive stress, depth of layer, refractive index profile and birefringence.

Abstract: A method of processing a flexible glass sheet having a thickness of equal to or less than 300 μm includes separating an outer edge portion of the flexible glass sheet from a bonded portion of the flexible glass sheet along a separation path while the bonded portion of the flexible glass sheet remains bonded with respect to a first major surface of a carrier substrate. The step of separating the outer edge portion provides the flexible glass sheet with a new outer edge extending along the separation path. A lateral distance between the new outer edge of the flexible glass sheet and an outer periphery of the first major surface of the carrier substrate is equal to or less than about 750 μm.

Abstract: A method of measuring optical properties of a multi-mode optical fiber during processing of the fiber is described. The method includes: transmitting a light signal through one of the draw end of the multi-mode fiber and a test fiber section toward the other of the draw end and the test fiber section; and receiving a portion of the light signal at one of the draw end and the test fiber section. The method also includes obtaining optical data related to the received portion of the light signal; and analyzing the optical data to determine a property of the multi-mode fiber.

Abstract: Systems for and methods of characterizing the thickness profile of laminated glass structures are disclosed, wherein the laminated glass structure has at least one gradual transition region between adjacent glass layers. The method includes sequentially focusing laser light at different focuses along a line within the laminated glass structure. The sequentially formed focuses define corresponding micro-volumes from which fluorescent light emanates due to a multiphoton process. The variation in the intensity of the detected fluorescent light from each micro-volume as a function of distance into the laminated glass structure is used to determine the relative locations of the multiple layers and the at least one gradual transition region.
