Re: GT40 Crystal

Pete, it means basically what Pat said is simple terms. The lasers are 90 degrees to one another (orthogonal) and where they meet is where the fracture can occur. It could eb accomplished with a single laser and lens system but it would not be nearly as precise and would result in some residual heating (and maybe fracture) at unwanted spots.
