International ClassB23K 026/00Foreign Application Priority Data1990-01-30 FRAbstractAt least one laser beam is focused on one side of an assembly to be cut at a point on the side which is part of the cutting profile and which is called the point of impact of the beam on side side, in order to cause at that point a disintegration of the material of the assembly. The laser beam is moved in relation to the assembly so that the impact point describes a trajectory which corresponds to the desired cutting profile, while maintaining a controlled atmosphere in the area around the impact point. Uses particularly include cutting solid polymer electrolyte lithium thin film electrochemical generators, or cutting precursors of such generators.Other References
