Detailed Description
Embodiments of the present disclosure are described in detail below, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein like or similar reference numerals refer to like or similar elements or elements having like or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below by referring to the drawings are exemplary only for explaining the present disclosure and are not to be construed as limiting the present disclosure. On the contrary, the embodiments of the disclosure include all alternatives, modifications, and equivalents as may be included within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.
The brittle and hard components are separated by adopting the wire saw technology, but the wire saw processing time is long, about 50% of materials are wasted, the surface of the brittle and hard components is extremely easy to crack in the processing process, and the strength of the brittle and hard components is reduced by generated chips. Thus, the processing efficiency of the brittle and hard member is low, the processing cost is high, and the processing quality of the brittle and hard member cannot be ensured.
As shown in fig. 1, a related embodiment proposes a laser system for separating a brittle and hard component A3, which includes a stage A1 and an optical path A2, wherein the stage A1 is used for carrying the brittle and hard component A3, an exit end of the optical path A2 is opposite to the stage A1, and the optical path A2 is used for emitting a focused laser beam a21 when the stage A1 moves along a set path, so as to form a plurality of voids a31 in the brittle and hard component A3, which are located in the same plane and are distributed at intervals by using the focused laser beam a 21.
Wherein, as the focused laser beam a21 is focused in the brittle and hard member A3, the brittle and hard material in the brittle and hard member A3 undergoes multiphoton absorption at high peak power density, so that micro-explosion occurs, and a gap a31 is generated in the brittle and hard member A3, and as the brittle and hard member A3 moves along a set path along with the carrier A1, the focused laser beam a21 forms a plurality of gaps a31 in the brittle and hard member A3, which are located in the same plane and are distributed at intervals.
Since the bonding force at the void a31 formed in the brittle and hard member A3 is small, the brittle and hard member A3 can be separated from the plane of the void a31 by an external mechanical load such as stretching, twisting, etc., thereby realizing the separation process of the brittle and hard member A3.
However, since the plurality of voids a31 are spaced apart in the brittle and hard member A3, the brittle and hard member A3 does not form an integral gap, there are still many connecting structures, and a large external load is required for separating the brittle and hard member A3, so that damage to the brittle and hard member A3 is easily caused.
To solve the above-mentioned problems, as shown in fig. 2, 3 and 4, the disclosed embodiment proposes a laser system for separating a brittle and hard component 5, which includes a stage 1, a first optical path 2 and a second optical path 3, the stage 1 is used for carrying the brittle and hard component 5, an exit end of the first optical path 2 is opposite to the stage 1, the first optical path 2 is used for emitting a focused laser beam 210 when the stage 1 moves along the first path, so as to form a plurality of voids 51 located in the same plane and distributed at intervals in the brittle and hard component 5 by using the focused laser beam 210, the exit end of the second optical path 3 is opposite to the stage 1, and the second optical path 3 is used for emitting a second parallel laser beam 33 along the second path to expand the voids 51 by using the second parallel laser beam 33, so that the plurality of voids 51 are communicated and form a modified layer 52.
It will be appreciated that as a result of the focusing of the focused laser beam 210 in the brittle member 5, the brittle material in the brittle member 5 undergoes multiphoton absorption at high peak power density, thereby causing a micro-explosion, thereby creating voids 51 in the brittle member 5, and as a result of the movement of the brittle member 5 along the first path with the stage 1, the focused laser beam 210 forms a plurality of voids 51 in the brittle member 5 that lie in the same plane and are spaced apart.
In addition, since the gap 51 in the brittle and hard member 5 has a larger laser absorptivity, when the brittle and hard member 5 is irradiated by the second parallel laser beam 33 along the second path, the gap 51 in the brittle and hard member 5 can absorb laser energy and generate a thermal expansion effect, so that thermal stress is generated to expand the gap 51, and further, the plurality of gaps 51 are communicated and form the modified layer 52 of the integral gap structure, and simultaneously, under the continuous driving of the thermal stress, the brittle and hard member 5 can be separated from the modified layer 52, thereby realizing the separation processing of the brittle and hard member 5 and meeting the use requirement.
Wherein, after focusing and irradiating the brittle and hard member 5 by the focusing laser beam 210, the brittle and hard member 5 is separated by irradiating the second parallel laser beam 33, which not only avoids the intervention of larger external load and ensures higher processing quality of the brittle and hard member 5, but also avoids the operations of focusing control, precise movement control and the like, thereby effectively simplifying the separation process of the brittle and hard member 5, improving the processing efficiency of the brittle and hard member 5 and reducing the processing cost of the brittle and hard member 5.
It should be noted that the first optical path 2 is used to emit the focused laser beam 210 to generate micro-explosion marks, that is, voids 51, in the brittle and hard member 5 by using the focused laser beam 210, and the bonding force in the brittle and hard member 5 is reduced due to the presence of the voids 51, thereby facilitating the separation of the brittle and hard member 5. The specific type of the first optical path 2 may be set according to actual needs, and is not limited thereto, and the wavelength range of the focused laser beam 210 may be 355nm to 1100nm, and the spot diameter of the focused laser beam 210 may be less than 10 μm.
The second optical path 3 is used for emitting the second parallel laser beam 33 to expand the gap 51 in the brittle and hard member 5 by using the second parallel laser beam 33, and when the brittle and hard member 5 is irradiated by the second parallel laser beam 33 due to the larger laser absorptivity at the gap 51 in the brittle and hard member 5, part of the light beam in the second parallel laser beam 33 is absorbed by the brittle and hard member 5, and the rest of the light beam irradiates the carrier 1 through the brittle and hard member 5, based on which the second path is not required to be precisely controlled as a whole, so that the separation of the brittle and hard member 5 is simpler. The specific type of the second optical path 3 may be set according to practical needs, and is not limited thereto, and the gap 51 in the brittle member 5 has a high absorptivity for laser light in the infrared band, so that the wavelength range of the second parallel laser beam 33 may be 800nm-1100nm, the laser power range may be 50W-100W, and the beam diameter range may be 3mm-8mm.

The position of the modified layer 52 in the brittle member 5 may be set according to actual needs, and is not limited thereto, and the planar direction of the modified layer 52 and the thickness direction of the brittle member 5 may be perpendicular, and the distance between the modified layer 52 and the brittle member 5 at the end away from the stage 1 may be in the range of 150 μm to 500 μm.
The relative arrangement of the exit end of the first optical path 2 and the stage 1 and the relative arrangement of the exit end of the second optical path 3 and the stage 1 may be set according to actual needs, which is not limited to this, and when the fragile and hard component 5 is set on the stage 1, the exit end direction of the first optical path 2 and the exit end direction of the second optical path 3 are respectively parallel to the thickness direction of the fragile and hard component 5.
The specific types of the first path and the second path may be set according to actual needs, which are not limited, and the first path and the second path may be in an "arcuate" shape, a "Z" shape, or the like, as an example.

Wherein, part of the light beams in the second parallel laser beams 33 are absorbed by the brittle and hard member 5, and the rest of the light beams pass through the brittle and hard member 5 and irradiate on the metal table 11 so as to generate more heat on the metal table 11, and the metal table 11 adopts a metal material with higher heat conduction efficiency, so that the metal table 11 can rapidly conduct out the heat in the metal table, avoid heat accumulation, and further ensure stable separation of the brittle and hard member 5.
