In addition to short individual high-frequency signals and their strings, which are well known and analysed, electromagnetic radiation measured during percussion drilling of glass showed a group of lengthy pulses usually appearing in pairs (denoted a-b). In order to understand their origin a polarization-depolarization process is invoked. Thus it is assumed that, during drilling, stress is accumulated in the sample, its increase being accompanied by a polarization increase, which is undetected by the equipment. When stress reaches a critical value, large crack propagation ('chip' fragmentation) begins, and a group a signal is emitted. Crack propagation causes stress and polarization relaxation, and the latter is detected as a group b signal.
