  • Patent number: 6958094
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for slicing a single crystal, wherein the single crystal is sliced by irradiating a portion to be sliced with an ultra short pulse laser beam while supplying a gas containing gaseous molecules or radicals that react with atoms constituting the single crystal to become stable gaseous molecules in the vicinity of the portion under slicing. Thus, there is provided a method for slicing a single crystal by using a laser processing, in which a single crystal is processed while obtaining a good sliced surface and markedly reducing a slicing loss.

  • Patent number: 6829279
    Abstract: In a laser oscillating apparatus for exciting a laser gas in a laser tube by introducing an electromagnetic wave from a waveguide into the laser tube through a plurality of slots formed in a waveguide wall, and generating a laser beam by resonating light emitted from the laser gas, the slots are formed in a line such that their longitudinal direction is consistent with the longitudinal direction of the waveguide, and a metal wall is so formed as to surround these slots. This metal wall forms a gap as a microwave passage from the slots to a window in the laser tube wall, thereby spacing the laser tube wall apart from the slots by a predetermined distance.

  • Patent number: 6801554
    Abstract: An excimer laser gas in a laser tube 2 is excited by a microwave introduced from awaveguide 1, and electric field concentration occurs in a slit-shaped gap 3 provided in a plate member 11c, causing plasma discharge. Then the phase of plasma light is regulated and the light is resonated, to cause excimer laser light. This construction realizes plasma excitation entirely uniform along a lengthwise direction of laser light emission, and enables uniform laser light emission with minimum energy loss.
