Methods, systems, and articles of manufacture consistent with the present invention use laser energy for fusion welding a first quartz object to a second quartz object. The first quartz object and second quartz object have opposing surfaces to be fusion welded together. Once placed in a configuration where the opposing surfaces are substantially near each other, one or more laser beams are applied to one of the surfaces. As the first surface is heated by the laser energy, it become reflective as it nears a desired fusion weldable condition. Once reflective, the first surface reflects the laser energy to the opposing surface where the opposing surface is then heated to the desired fusion weldable condition. As the laser beam is bounced or reflected back and forth between the opposing surfaces, the surfaces are heated in a substantially even manner to allow for molecular fusing of the first object the second object into a single quartz workpiece.
