    Abstract: A method of providing locally annealed regions for a glass article comprising: (a) providing a strengthened glass article having a first surface compressive stress and a first depth of layer of compressive stress; (b) targeting first portions of the glass article on a first side thereof; (c) annealing the targeted first portions to a second surface compressive stress and a second depth of layer of compressive stress; and (d) repeating steps (b) and (c) to create a pattern of annealed portions of the glass article on the first side thereof. Targeted annealing can be done e.g. by focusing a laser or using microwave energy or an induction source. A method for making a laminate structure comprising a first glass layer (12), a second glass layer (16), and at least one polymer interlayer (14) intermediate the first and second glass layers. The first glass layer (12) can be comprised of a strengthened glass having a first portion with a first surface compressive stress and a first depth of layer of compressive stress and a second portion with a second surface compressive stress and a second depth of layer of compressive stress. In other embodiments, the second glass layer (16) can be comprised of a strengthened glass having a third portion with a third surface compressive stress and a third depth of layer of compressive stress and a fourth portion with a fourth surface compressive stress and a fourth depth of layer of compressive stress.

    Abstract: A system for laser drilling of a material includes a pulsed laser configured to produce a pulsed laser beam having a wavelength less than or equal to about 850 nm, the wavelength selected such that the material is substantially transparent at this wavelength. The system further includes an optical assembly positioned in the beam path of the laser, configured to transform the laser beam into a laser beam focal line oriented along the beam propagation direction, on a beam emergence side of the optical assembly.
