Abstract
Description
Diese Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Erzeugung einer unter der Oberfläche liegenden Markierung in einem Körper aus Glas, das eine Transmissionskurve mit einem Plateaubereich bei Wellenlängen, die größer als die von Röntgenstrahlen sind, aufweist, wobei auf eine Oberfläche des Körpers ein Laserstrahl gerichtet wird, der den Körper bis zu der vorbestimmten Tiefe der Markierung zu durchdringen vermag und ferner an dem vorbestimmten Ort der Markierung innerhalb des Glases fokussiert wird und eine solche Leistungsdichte aufweist, daß an dem Ort eine Markierung in Form einer sich durch eine verringerte Durchlässigkeit für elektromagnetische Strahlung auszeichnenden Materialveränderung entsteht, im wesentlichen ohne daß an der Oberfläche des Körpers eine irgendwie feststellbare Veränderung eintritt.This invention relates to a method of producing an under-surface Marking in a body made of glass that shows a transmission curve with a Has a plateau region at wavelengths greater than that of X-rays, whereby a laser beam is directed onto a surface of the body, which strikes the body up to the predetermined depth of the mark can penetrate and further on the predetermined location of the marking is focused within the glass and such Power density has that a mark in the form of a by a reduced permeability to electromagnetic radiation Material change occurs, essentially without being on the surface of the body there is a change that is somehow noticeable.
Aus der EP 0 543 899 B1 ist ein Verfahren zur Erzeugung einer Markierung in einem Glaskörper gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 bekannt. Bei diesem Verfahren wird Laserstrahlung mit einer solchen Energiedichte verwendet, daß an dem Fokus, also dort, wo die Markierung vorgenommen werden soll, die Energiedichte ausreicht, um bleibende Veränderungen innerhalb des Körpers, der aus Glas oder auch aus einem anderen Material bestehen kann, bewirkt werden. Dabei wird es als vorteilhaft beschrieben, wenn die Energiedichte am Fokus der Laserstrahlen wenigstens 10 J/cm2 beträgt, da dies etwa die Schwelle für das Auftreten lokalisierter lonisierung der Glasmoleküle ist. Gemäß dem bekannten Verfahren wird dazu Laserstrahlung mit einer Wellenlänge von 1,06 µm verwendet.EP 0 543 899 B1 describes a method for generating a marking in one Glass body known according to the preamble of claim 1. With this procedure Laser radiation with such an energy density is used that at the focus, ie where the marking is to be made, the energy density is sufficient to be permanent Changes within the body made of glass or another material can exist. It is described as advantageous if the Energy density at the focus of the laser beams is at least 10 J / cm2, since this is about Threshold for the occurrence of localized ionization of the glass molecules. According to the Known methods for this purpose use laser radiation with a wavelength of 1.06 µm used.
Nachteilig dabei ist, daß bei dieser im Infrarotbereich liegenden Wellenlänge der zugehörige Transmissionsgrad für Glas in dem Plateaubereich der Transmissionskurve des Glases liegt. Das bedeutet, daß bei dieser Wellenlänge die Transmission der Laserstrahlen durch den Glaskörper hindurch bei linearem Absorptionsverhalten annähernd maximal ist. Damit die gewünschte Veränderung des Glases im Fokusbereich des Laserstrahls - also das gewünschte nichtlineare Absorptionsverhalten - auftritt, muß wie oben dargelegt eine bestimmte Energiedichteschwelle überschritten werden. Diese Energiedichteschwelle ist jedoch, wenn die Laserstrahlung im Infrarotbereich liegt, sehr scharf, so daß ein abrupter Übergang von linearer Absorption hin zu der die Markierung bewirkenden nichtlinearen Absorption stattfindet. Hierin könnte die Tatsache begründet sein, daß bei dem bekannten Verfahren eine Veränderung des Glases über den eigentlichen Fokusbereich der Laserstrahlung hinaus stattfindet, was damit zusammenhängt, daß diese durch eine lokale Aufschmelzung des Glases erklärbare, bläschenartige Veränderung schlagartig, quasi explosionsartig, eintritt. Daraus resultiert die Notwendigkeit, daß die Markierung, die durch eine Aneinanderreihung dieser Markierungspunkte erzeugt wird, einen gewissen Mindestabstand von der Oberfläche des Glaskörpers aufweisen muß, da sich die Markierungspunkte sonst von ihrem unterhalb der Oberfläche des Glaskörpers liegenden Zentrum bis zur Oberfläche erstrecken und dadurch ein Zerspringen des Glases an der Oberfläche hervorrufen. Bei dem bekannten Verfahren beträgt der Mindestabstand einer Markierung in einem Glaskörper von der Oberfläche etwa 1 mm, so daß der Glaskörper zur Vermeidung von Bruchgefahr insgesamt eine Dicke von mindestens 3 mm besitzen muß.The disadvantage here is that at this wavelength in the infrared range, the associated one The degree of transmission for glass lies in the plateau region of the transmission curve of the glass. This means that at this wavelength the transmission of the laser beams through the Vitreous body with linear absorption behavior is approximately maximum. So that desired change of the glass in the focus area of the laser beam - that is Desired nonlinear absorption behavior - must occur, as stated above certain energy density threshold are exceeded. This energy density threshold is however, if the laser radiation is in the infrared range, very sharp, causing an abrupt Transition from linear absorption to the nonlinear marking effect Absorption takes place. This could be due to the fact that in the known method a Change of the glass beyond the actual focus area of the laser radiation takes place, which is connected with the fact that this is caused by a local melting of the Glases explainable, bubble-like change suddenly, almost explosively, occurs. This results in the need for the marking to be created by a string of these marking points is generated, a certain minimum distance from the surface of the vitreous must have, since the marking points are otherwise from below the surface of the vitreous center to the surface and causing the glass to crack on the surface. With the well-known Procedure is the minimum distance of a marking in a vitreous from that Surface about 1 mm, so that the glass body to avoid breakage overall must have a thickness of at least 3 mm.
Weiterhin ist ein gattungsgemäßes Verfahren im Laser Magazin 1/95, Seiten 16 ff beschrieben worden. Dieses Verfahren, bei dem ebenfalls Laserstrahlen mit im Plateaubereich der Transmissionskurve des bearbeiteten Glases liegendem Transmissionsgrad verwendet wurden, zeigte bei Quarzglas in bezug auf die Ausdehnung des Aufschmelzungsbereiches die besten Ergebnisse, wobei ca. 100 µm erreicht wurden. Bei Verwendung anderer Prozeßparameter betrug die Ausdehnung des Aufschmelzungsbereiches auch mehrere Hundert Mikrometer. Dieses Verfahren weist somit grundsätzlich dieselben Nachteile wie das oben beschriebene bekannte Verfahren auf.There is also a generic method in Laser Magazin 1/95, pages 16 ff have been described. This process, which also uses laser beams with Plateau area of the transmission curve of the processed glass lying Transmittance used was shown in quartz glass in terms of expansion the best results in the melting area, whereby approx. 100 µm was achieved. When using other process parameters, the extent of the Melting area also several hundred micrometers. This procedure thus points out basically the same disadvantages as the known method described above.
Daher liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein gattungsgemäßes Verfahren zur Verfügung zu stellen, mit dem die einzelnen, zusammen die Markierung ausmachenden Markierungspunkte mit einem sehr kleinen minimalen Durchmesser erzeugt werden können.The invention is therefore based on the object of a generic method for To make available with which the individual, together making up the marking Marker points with a very small minimum diameter can be created.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch das Verfahren gemäß Anspruch 1 gelöst. Dadurch, daß eine Wellenlänge des Laserlichtes verwendet wird, bei der das Glas teildurchlässig ist und die kleiner als alle dem Plateaubereich entsprechenden Wellenlängen des Laserlichtes ist, ist erreicht, daß die Ausdehnung der Markierungspunkte im Glaskörper sehr gering gehalten werden kann. Dieser Effekt wurde überraschenderweise festgestellt. Eine mögliche Erklärung könnte darin liegen, daß bei Wellenlängen, die einem Transmissionsgrad unterhalb des Plateauniveaus entsprechen, der Übergang von im wesentlichen linearer Absorption hin zu Absorption mit einem beträchtlichen Anteil nichtlinearer Absorption "weicher" ist, d. h. ein Energiedichtenbereich besteht, in dem der Anteil nichtlinearer Absorption allmählich zunimmt. Denn es wurde experimentell gefunden, daß erfindungsgemäß die Ausdehnung des Markierungspunktes durch entsprechende Einstellung der Energiedichte im Fokusbereich sehr gut kontrolliert werden kann und damit verbunden somit auch Glaskörper einer Dicke von nur 1 mm mit einer im Inneren liegenden Markierung versehen werden können.This object is achieved by the method according to claim 1. The fact that a Wavelength of the laser light is used at which the glass is partially transparent and the is smaller than all the wavelengths of the laser light corresponding to the plateau region achieved that the extent of the marking points in the vitreous body was kept very low can be. This effect was surprisingly found. A possible Explanation could be that at wavelengths that have a transmittance below the plateau level, the transition from essentially linear Absorption to absorption with a significant amount of nonlinear absorption "softer" is d. H. there is an energy density range in which the proportion of nonlinear Absorption gradually increases. Because it was found experimentally that according to the invention the extension of the marking point by appropriate Setting the energy density in the focus area can be controlled very well and therefore thus also connected glass bodies with a thickness of only 1 mm with an inside Marking can be provided.
Darüber hinaus weist das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren zur Glasinnenstrukturierung gegenüber dem Stand der Technik den Vorteil auf, daß die Laserstrahlung aufgrund der geringeren verwendeten Wellenlängen besser fokussierbar ist und damit zusätzlich günstige Bedingungen geschaffen sind, die Ausdehnung des Fokus möglichst gering zu halten.In addition, the inventive method for glass interior structuring compared to the prior art the advantage that the laser radiation due to lower used wavelengths is better focusable and thus also more economical Conditions are created to keep the focus as small as possible.
Vorzugsweise wird eine Wellenlänge für die Laserstrahlung gewählt, bei der der Transmissionsgrad 60 bis 95 % des Plateauniveaus beträgt.A wavelength is preferably selected for the laser radiation at which the Transmittance is 60 to 95% of the plateau level.
Ferner ist im Rahmen der Erfindung vorzugsweise vorgesehen, daß die Laserstrahlung mittels eines Nd-YAG-Lasers erzeugt wird, wobei beispielsweise die dritte Harmonische oder auch die vierte Harmonische verwendet wird.Furthermore, it is preferably provided in the context of the invention that the laser radiation is generated by means of an Nd-YAG laser, for example the third harmonic or the fourth harmonic is also used.
In der Regel wird die Wellenlänge im UV-Bereich liegen. Wichtig ist natürlich, daß die Wellenlänge so groß gewählt ist, daß eine Teildurchlässigkeit des Glaskörpers gegeben ist, bei der genügend Strahlungsintensität am gewünschten Markierungsort vorhanden ist.As a rule, the wavelength will be in the UV range. It is of course important that the The wavelength is chosen so large that the glass body is partially transparent, at which there is sufficient radiation intensity at the desired marking location.
Im folgenden wird die Erfindung anhand eines Ausführungsbeispiels näher erläutert, wobei auf die Figur Bezug genommen wird.The invention is explained in more detail below using an exemplary embodiment, wherein reference is made to the figure.
Die einzige Figur zeigt schematisch eine typische Transmissionskurve einer üblichen Glasart.The single figure shows schematically a typical transmission curve of a conventional one Type of glass.
Der Plateaubereich der Transmissionskurve ist ungefähr durch die Transmissionswerte gebildet, die bei den Wellenlängen größer λ3 gegeben sind. Erfindungsgemäß ist vorgesehen, daß Laserstrahlung verwendet wird, die in Abhängigkeit von dem jeweils gewählten Glas eine Wellenlänge aufweist, die kleiner als λ3 ist, bei der jedoch die Transmission nicht vernachlässigbar gering ist, was in der Figur für die Wellenlängen größer λ0 der Fall ist. Ein bevorzugter Wellenlängenbereich ist beispielsweise der Bereich λ1 ≤ λ ≤ λ2.The plateau region of the transmission curve is approximately formed by the transmission values which are given at the wavelengths greater than λ 3 . According to the invention, it is provided that laser radiation is used which, depending on the glass chosen in each case, has a wavelength which is less than λ 3 , but at which the transmission is not negligibly low, which is the case in the figure for wavelengths greater than λ 0 is. A preferred wavelength range is, for example, the range λ 1 λ λ 2 .
Die Erfindung kann beispielsweise folgendermaßen ausgeführt werden: The invention can be carried out, for example, as follows:
Gewöhnliches Glas BK 7 in Form eines Plättchens einer Dicke von 1 mm wird mit Laserstrahlen mit einer Wellenlänge von 355 nm unter Verwendung eines Nd-YAG-Lasers bestrahlt. Dies geschieht derart, daß der Laserstrahl mit den üblichen Mitteln innerhalb des Glasplättchens fokussiert wird, wobei der Fokus 0,5 mm unterhalb der Oberfläche des Glasplättchens liegt. Der Laser wird mit einer Repetitionsrate von 5 kHz betrieben. Die Pulsdauer beträgt 100 ns, die Leistungsdichte im Fokus ca. 500 MW/cm2.Ordinary glass BK 7 in the form of a plate with a thickness of 1 mm is irradiated with laser beams with a wavelength of 355 nm using an Nd-YAG laser. This is done in such a way that the laser beam is focused within the glass plate with the usual means, the focus being 0.5 mm below the surface of the glass plate. The laser is operated at a repetition rate of 5 kHz. The pulse duration is 100 ns, the power density in focus is approximately 500 MW / cm 2 .
Dabei entstehen Markierungspunkte, die etwa einen Durchmesser von nur 20 µm aufweisen. Die Markierungspunkte werden mit einem Abstand von 5 µm aneinandergereiht, um durch Überlappung eine fast kontinuierliche Linie zu ergeben. Die hierbei verwendete Leistungsdichte im Fokus ist deutlich geringer als die bei den bekannten Verfahren erforderliche Leistungsdichte.This creates marking points that have a diameter of only 20 µm. The marking points are lined up with a distance of 5 µm to pass through Overlap to give an almost continuous line. The one used here The power density in focus is significantly lower than that of the known methods required power density.
Im obigen Ausführungsbeispiel kann gegebenenfalls die Repetitionsrate auch bis zu 10 kHz betragen.In the above exemplary embodiment, the repetition rate may also be up to 10 kHz be.
Zum Vergleich wurde unter denselben äußeren Prozeßbedingungen Quarzglas Suprasil 1 bearbeitet. Im Gegensatz zu dem Glas BK 7 liegt jedoch bei diesem Quarzglas der zu der Wellenlänge 355 nm gehörige Transmissionsgrad im Plateaubereich. Infolgedessen konnte bei dem Quarzglas nicht eine solch feine Strukturierung wie bei dem Glas BK 7 erreicht werden. Vielmehr war die Ausdehnung der Markierungspunkte bei dem Quarzglas deutlich größer als bei dem Glas BK7.For comparison, Suprasil 1 quartz glass was used under the same external process conditions processed. In contrast to the glass BK 7, this quartz glass is the one to Wavelength 355 nm transmittance in the plateau range. As a result, could the quartz glass does not achieve such a fine structuring as that of the BK 7 glass become. Rather, the extent of the marking points on the quartz glass was clear larger than the BK7 glass.
Die mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren hergestellten Markierungen können z.B. zu Kennzeichnungs- oder auch zu Verzierungszwecken vorgesehen sein.The markings produced by the method according to the invention can e.g. to Labeling or for decorative purposes.
