Patent number: 10622254Abstract: An object is irradiated with a laser light modulated by a reflection type spatial light modulator such that aberration of the laser light converged inside the object becomes a predetermined aberration or less. Therefore, aberration of the laser light generated at a position on which a converging point of the laser light is located is made as small as possible, to enhance the energy density of the laser light at that position, which makes it possible to form a modified region with a high function as a starting point for cutting. In addition, because the reflection type spatial light modulator is used, it is possible to improve the utilization efficiency of the laser light as compared with a transmissive type spatial light modulator.Type: GrantFiled: July 19, 2016Date of Patent: April 14, 2020Assignee: HAMAMATSU PHOTONICS K.K.Inventors: Makoto Nakano, Koji Kuno, Tetsuya Osajima, Takashi Inoue, Masayoshi Kumagai
