Abstract
Laser processing plays a key role in treating a lot of materials. The visible nanosecond laser processing based on a tripartite-interaction system has been proved to be an effective method of processing materials with high optical transparency, which has the advantages of low cost, high efficiency, and simplicity over the direct processing by using a femtosecond laser. However, further studies on the theoretical mechanism and parameter optimization keep to be rear for the hybrid tripartite-interaction laser processing. In this study, we have carried out the confirmatory experiment and numerical simulation of laser processing with a tripartite-interaction system, which includes a visible nanosecond laser (19 ns@532 nm), a piece of transparent glass, and a copper foil. The experiment indicates that drilled holes can be obtained on the glass sheets by using the visible nanosecond laser. The numerical results, which have been obtained by an approach named as constrained interpolation profile, reveal that the processing mechanism is based on the heat conduction, generation of stress and ablation between the glass and the copper foil. Our results could to be useful for the development of visible nanosecond laser processing in industrial applications.
