ABSTRACT:
In the present invention, a surface7of a glass substrate1is irradiated with a laser beam2to thereby form a V-shaped groove6.At that time, the laser beam2is condensed outside and above the glass substrate1.The distance between a beam-condensing point4of the laser beam2and the surface7of the glass substrate1is changed to thereby make it possible to change the angle between opposite side surfaces of the V-shaped groove. The angle is in a range of from 30 degrees to 120 degrees. Further, the laser beam used in the present invention is pulsed light, preferably with a pulse width not larger than 10 picoseconds.
