摘要:
A method of forming a panel with an optically transmissive portion and resulting products. The method comprises drilling a via through a panel and filling the via with an optically transmissive material. A top surface and/or a bottom surface of the panel at the optically transmissive portion is smooth and continuous to the naked eye. The method can also be used to create a light transmissive section of a housing. A light source directed to one side of the via is seen through the optically transmissive material so as to be visible to a viewer viewing a surface at the second side of the via.
摘要:
A method for thinning a substrate prior to drilling and/or for structurally reinforcing a thinned substrate having a via pattern after drilling and products resulting thereby. A substrate, or panel, has a first thickness. A pocket is formed in the substrate where the pocket has a second thickness less than the first thickness. At least one via is drilled in the pocket, and the via(s) are filled with an optically transmissive material.
摘要:
An area of reduced thickness is formed in a panel, and a pattern of microscopic holes are formed in the area. The holes are filled with a light transmissive material such as a curable polymer. The thinned area may also be filled with a polymer to reinforce the thinned area and the polymer may be colored to add color to light transmitted through the pattern. The panel can form a portion of a housing surrounding a lighting source that makes the holes visible when lit.

A method for producing an area of light transmissivity in a generally opaque panel comprises forming an area of reduced thickness in the panel, laser drilling an array of microscopic holes in the area and thereafter filling the holes with a light transmissive material such as a curable polymer. The thinned area may also be filled with a polymer to reinforce the thinned area, and the polymer may be colored to add color to light transmitted through the pattern.
摘要:
The invention is a method and apparatus for creating a color and optical density selectable visible mark on an anodized aluminum specimen. The method includes providing a laser marking system having a laser, laser optics and a controller operatively connected to said laser to control laser pulse parameters and a controller with stored laser pulse parameters, selecting the stored laser pulse parameters associated with the desired color and optical density, directing the laser marking system to produce laser pulses having laser pulse parameters associated with the desired color and optical density including temporal pulse widths greater than about 1 and less than about 1000 picoseconds to impinge upon said anodized aluminum.

The invention is a method and apparatus for laser marking a stainless steel specimen with commercially desirable marks. The method includes providing a laser processing system having a laser, and laser optics and a controller with pre-determined laser pulse parameters, selecting the pre-determined laser pulse parameters associated with the desired mark, and directing the laser marking system to produce laser pulses having laser pulse parameters associated with the desired marks including temporal pulse widths greater than about 1 and less than about 1000 picoseconds.
