Laser cut composite glass article and method of cutting

A glass article comprising:

• a glass composite having a first surface, a second surface, and at least one edge having a plurality of defect lines extending at least 250 microns between the first and second surfaces, the defect lines each having a diameter less than or equal to about 5 microns, the glass composite comprising three layers, wherein the outermost layers are comprised of a first composition having a coefficient of thermal expansion CTE1 and a thickness TH1;
• and an inner layer situated between the outermost layers, the inner layer comprised of a second composition that is different from the first composition and has a coefficient of thermal expansion CTE2 and a thickness TH2;
• wherein CTE1 is greater than CTE2.
