Notes:
A laser-cutting technique was used to pattern high-temperature superconducting single crystals with high precision into various shapes. The low mean power of 135 mW of the laser enables one to produce cuts of arbitrary shape without affecting the superconducting parameters. This was proven by local observations of the magnetic flux distribution using the magnetooptical Faraday effect. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.
