    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a glass substrate including an opening includes forming lines of inner and outer circumferential portions irradiated with a laser beam along substantially concentric circles in a surface of a glass blank, separating a portion on an inner side of the line of the outer circumferential portion of the glass blank and a portion on an outer side of the line of the outer circumferential portion from each other by heating the portion on the outer side of the line of the outer circumferential portion with radiant heat and separating a portion on an inner side of the line of the inner circumferential portion of the glass blank and a portion on an outer side of the line of the inner circumferential portion from each other by heating the portion on the outer side of the line of the inner circumferential portion with radiant heat.

    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a disk-shaped glass plate in which shape processing is performed on an edge surface of the glass plate includes processing the edge surface into a target shape by irradiating the edge surface with a laser beam while moving the laser beam relative to the edge surface in a circumferential direction of the glass plate. A cross-sectional intensity distribution of the laser beam with which the edge surface is irradiated is a single mode, and W1>Th holds true and Pd×Th is in a range of 0.8 to 3.5 [W/mm] when a width of luminous flux of the laser beam in a thickness direction of the glass plate at an irradiation position of the edge surface is W1 [mm], a thickness of the glass plate is Th [mm], and a power density of the laser beam is Pd.

    Abstract: A method for producing an intermediate glass plate includes a defect formation step, a separation step, and a polishing step. In the defect formation step, a defect is formed on main surfaces of glass blanks by irradiating a laminate of the glass blanks with a laser beam from one side in a lamination direction in which the glass blanks are laminated, along the lamination direction, and moving the laser beam relative to the laminate such that a circle is drawn in a view from the main surfaces of the glass blanks. In the separation step, a cylindrical laminate is formed by separating a removal target portion along the defect while maintaining the laminate. In the polishing step, a side wall surface of the laminate is polished while maintaining the cylindrical laminate so as to obtain a disk-shaped intermediate glass plate that has been subjected to edge surface polishing.
