Femtosecond laser-induced stress-free ultra- densification inside porous glass
نویسندگان
چکیده
Unusually high densification ⩽26% was obtained without lateral residual stresses within the laser beam waist inside porous glass during its multi-shot femtosecond laser irradiation, which may induce in the glass the related high refractive index change ~0.1. Corresponding laser irradiation regimes, resulting in such ultra-densification, decompaction and voids inside the glass, were revealed as a function of laser pulse energy and scanning rate, and were discussed in terms of thermal and hydrodynamic processes in the silica network.

Compact 3D Microfluidic Channel Structures Embedded in Glass Fabricated by Femtosecond Laser Direct Writing
We demonstrate rapid fabrication of complex three-dimensional (3D) microfluidic channels with lengths up to ~6.0 cm within a tiny volume down to ~80 nl in glass substrates by femtosecond laser direct writing, which, to the best of our knowledge, is the longest microfluidic channel directly embedded in glass by femtosecond laser microprocessing. The fabrication mainly includes the following two ...
متن کاملUltra-fast Diagnostics of Laser-induced Melting of Matter in ns to μs Time-scales
The interaction of laser radiation with dielectrics and metals is detected with femtosecond resolution by pump&probe techniques (t = 80 fs or 3 ps, λ = 810 nm). Even with femtosecond laser radiation melt ejection dynamics can be observed by irradiating metals like copper or aluminium using time-resolved shadowgraphy. Laser-induced melt ejection has been observed in the time range of 100 ns to 1...
متن کاملStructural 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...

Femtosecond laser micromachining of glass material using low-energy, sub-ablation threshold pulses find numerous applications in the fields of integrated optics, lab-on-a-chips and microsystems in general. In this paper, we study the influence of the laser-deposited energy on the performance of the micromachining process. In particular, we show that the energy deposited in the substrate affects...

We demonstrate the polarization-dependent anisotropy of the laser induced nanostructures inside SiO2 and GeO2 glass. Such nanostructures show form birefringence which is controllable by the femtosecond double-pulse configuration. In the case of SiO2 glass, we have also demonstrate polarization imaging filter based on the linear dichroism for the visible light ranging from 400 to 800 nm. While, ...
