Abstract
We were able to form a channel of microcracks in the transparent dielectric using the passively mode-locked pulsed wave of Nd:YAG radiation. The channel of microcracks started on the back side of a planar specimen; then it grew from pulse to pulse in the direction inside and ended on the face side.
