Structural Modification of Amorphous Fused Silica under Femtosecond Laser Irradiation
Non-linear absorption of femtosecond laser pulses enables the induction of structural changes in the interior of bulk transparent materials without affecting their surface. This property can be exploited for the transmission welding of transparent dielectrics, three dimensional optical data storages and waveguides. In the present study, femtosecond laser pulses were tightly focused within the i...
متن کاملFemtosecond laser micromachining of fused silica molds.
The use of low-energy femtosecond laser beam combined with chemical etching has been proven to be an efficient method to fabricate three-dimensional structures in fused silica. For high-volume application, this technology--like other serial processes--suffers from a moderate production rate. Here, we show that femtosecond laser can also be employed to fabricate silica molds and other patterned ...
متن کاملArresting UV-Laser Damage in Fused Silica
26 LLE Review, Volume 77 Deciding when to replace spot-damage-afflicted fused-silica optics or, in the case of inaccessible, space-based lasers, predicting the useful service life of fused-silica optics before catastrophic, pulsed-laser-driven crack growth shatters a part has recently become simpler. By empirically deriving a rule for laser-driven crack growth in fused silica as a function of t...
متن کاملLaser plasma interactions in fused silica cavities
The effect of laser energy on formation of a plasma inside a cavity was investigated. The temperature and electron number density of laser-induced plasmas in a fused silica cavity were determined using spectroscopic methods, and compared with laser ablation on a flat surface. Plasma temperature and electron number density during laser ablation in a cavity with aspect ratio of 4 increased faster...
متن کاملFemtosecond laser modification of fused silica: the effect of writing polarization on Si-O ring structure.
A femtosecond laser with a 1 kHz repetition rate and two different polarization states was used to fabricate low-loss waveguides in fused silica. Investigations of chemically-mechanically polished waveguide regions using near-field scanning optical microscopy revealed the presence of modifications outside the glass regions directly exposed to a circularly polarized writing laser. These waveguid...
