In this paper, a kind of absorptive thin film, for the first time, was used in laser welding of SiO2, Si and LiNbO3. This absorptive thin film of three-layer metal-dielectric-metal structure is designed for further reducing the high reflectance of the Nd:YAG laser beam in the surface of the tin layer that is utilized as solder between the transparent parent materials. The actual absorption exceeds 99%. This combination of absorber and solder transformed the laser energy into heat effectively and decreased the minimum necessary incident laser power transmitting through the transparent parent materials. As a result, the damage of the parent materials, which is suffered from laser transmission, is avoided; on the other hand, the laser power is of full utilization and saved.
