Publication number: 20240116797Abstract: A method includes producing filamentary damages in a volume of a glass or glass ceramic element that are adjacently aligned along a separation line and that extend obliquely relative to a surface of the glass or glass ceramic element, and separating a portion from the glass or glass ceramic element along the separation line. The step of producing the filamentary damages includes directing laser pulses of an ultrashort pulse laser obliquely on the surface so that the laser pulses have a light propagation direction that extends obliquely relative to the surface and so that the filamentary damages resulting from the laser pulses have the longitudinal extension that extends obliquely relative to the surface, generating a plasma within the volume with the laser pulses, and displacing the laser pulses at points of incidence over the surface along the separation line.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 15, 2023Publication date: April 11, 2024Applicant: SCHOTT AGInventors: Andreas ORTNER, Albrecht SEIDL, Frank-Thomas LENTES, Fabian WAGNER
