Ultrafast Laser Physics and Material InteractionsQuartz Glass Laser Cleaning Settings
In our experience, quartz glass cleans up nicely with laser methods that prioritize gentle energy delivery. We typically start sessions with lower power levels to preserve its pristine optical clarity, since this material's high heat resistance lets it handle the process without warping. That low expansion under heat means you can maintain steady scans without risking built-up stress cracks over multiple passes. We've seen great results restoring surfaces in lab equipment or optical parts, where contaminants lift off cleanly and leave the glass undamaged. Its brittle nature, though, calls for controlled overlap in your beam paths to avoid uneven heating spots. What works best is building up passes gradually, allowing natural cooling between them to keep integrity intact. Watch out at the end—pushing too high on fluence can trigger micro-fractures, so always test on a scrap piece first to dial in safe thresholds.

Power Range
Amplifies damage risk in Pulse Width. Keep low to maintain safety margins.
Spot Size
Same power in a smaller spot creates much higher energy density.
Pulse Width
More power means higher peak intensity. Too much can damage the material.
Pass Count
Using more passes means you can use lower power and still get the job done.
