Laser scribing
“Laser scribing of glass works by thermal shock. Specifically, all glasses absorb strongly at the 10.6 μm CO2 laser wavelength, so a focused laser beam causes rapid heating at or near the surface of the glass. To produce a cut, the glass is translated relative to the beam, and either liquid or air is delivered by nozzles on to the glass to quickly cool it. The resulting thermal shock produces a continuous crack.”
