  • Patent number: 10622254
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 10322526
    Abstract: Laser lights L1 to L3 are relatively moved along a line to cut 5, while repeating a converging step of simultaneously converging the laser lights L1 to L3 at converging positions P1 to P3 separated from each other along the line 5. This forms a plurality of modified spots S along the line 5 and causes the plurality of modified spots S to form a modified region 7. The converging positions P1 to P3 in the repeated converging steps are kept from being superposed on each other, while at least one of converging positions P21 to P23 in the converging step in a later stage is located between converging positions P11 to P13 in the converging step in an earlier stage.
