Laser marking of ceramic materials, glazes, glass ceramics and glasses

TLDR
In this article, a method of laser marking ceramic materials, glazes, glass ceramics and glasses that contain at least one radiation-sensitive additive, utilizing a laser beam as radiation energy source which is either applied to, or focused on, the surface of the material to be marked in accordance with the form of the graphic symbols to be reproduced, such that a change in color is induced at the irradiated areas, wherein the wavelength of said laser beam used as energy source is in the near UV and/or visible range, and the radiation sensitive additive is an inorganic
Abstract
A method of laser marking ceramic materials, glazes, glass ceramics and glasses that contain at least one radiation-sensitive additive, utilizing a laser beam as radiation energy source which is either applied to, or focused on, the surface of the material to be marked in accordance with the form of the graphic symbols to be reproduced, such that a change in color is induced at the irradiated areas, wherein the wavelength of said laser beam used as energy source is in the near UV and/or visible range and/or infra-red range, and the radiation-sensitive additive is an inorganic pigment.

TL;DR: In this paper, a printing surface of the zirconia alloy ceramic is imagewise exposed to electromagnetic radiation such as from a laser under controlled conditions to provide localized "melting" of the exposed areas.
Patent

Laser beam machining method

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented a laser beam machining method characterized by comprising the steps of mounting a protective tape (25) on the surface (3) of a wafer (1a), radiating laser light (L) by using the back (21) as a laser light incidence plane with an optical converging point (P) positioned in a substrate (15), forming a melt processing region (13) for melt processing by multiphoton absorption.

Laser processing method and laser processing apparatus

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a method for cutting a work without producing a fusing and a cracking out of a predetermined cutting line on the surface of the work, where a pulse laser beam is radiated on the predetermined cut line, and a modified area is formed inside the work along the determined cut line by moving the condensed point along the predetermined cutoff point, whereby the work can be cut with a rather small force by starting from the modified area.
