Laser Pulse Annealing of Glass Plates Partially Covered by Radiation

Resumo

The action of pulsed laser radiation on a plate is studied as a quasi-static problem of thermoelasticity. An analytic relation expressing the thermal strength condition for a plate is derived, making it possible to determine non-destructive regimes of laser processing in the case where the diameter of the laser beam is smaller than the diameter of the worked plate. The obtained results were checked experimentally.
