  • Patent number: 11199658
    Abstract: Methods for singulating an optical waveguide material at a contour include directing a first laser beam onto a first side of the optical waveguide material to generate a first group of perforations in the optical waveguide material. A second laser beam is directed onto a second side of the optical waveguide material to generate a second group of perforations in the optical waveguide material. The second side is opposite the first side. The first group of perforations and the second group of perforations define a perforation zone at the contour. A third laser beam is directed at the perforation zone to singulate the optical waveguide material at the perforation zone.
