Laser welding multiple refractive coated transparent substrates

Disclosed herein are methods of bonding a multi-layer film to a substrate and resulting structures thereof. A method of laser bonding a multi-layer film to a substrate can include forming a film over a first surface of a first substrate that is transmissive to light at a first wavelength. The film may include a reflective layer that is reflective to light at the first wavelength and a refractive layer that is refractive to light at the first wavelength. The method may include irradiating a region of the film using laser radiation passing through the first substrate. A wavelength profile of the laser radiation can have a peak at about the first wavelength. The first wavelength can be between about 300 nm and about 5000 nm.
