Abstract

See full text

Damaged automobile windshields are removed using an array of laser diodes. The diodes are chosen to provide light energy at a wavelength to be focused on and absorbed by the ceramic layer coating the windshield edge and to which is bonded the adhesive layer which holds the windshield in place. In practice, the diode array is moved along the windshield edge directing light through the windshield at the ceramic layer. The laser array comprises a linear array of diodes, having a length to span the width of the adhesive band.
