Abstract
A laser-cutting technique was used to pattern high-temperature superco nducting single crystals with high precision into various shapes. The low mean power of 135 mW of the laser enables one to produce cuts of a rbitrary shape without affecting the superconducting parameters. This was proven by local observations of the magnetic flux distribution usi ng the magnetooptical Faraday effect. (C) 1996 American Institute of P hysics.
