This chapter attempts to give an overview of the historical development and current progress
of femtosecond laser micro-nanofabrication based on multiphoton absorption, and particular …

The interaction of ultra-fast sub-picosecond laser pulses with solids is a very broad area of
research. The boundaries for research fields covered by this review are defined as follows. A …

Periodic nanostructures are observed inside silica glass after irradiation by a focused beam
of a femtosecond Ti: sapphire laser. Backscattering electron images of the irradiated spot …

Femtosecond laser pulses appear as an emerging and promising tool for processing wide
bandgap dielectric materials for a variety of applications. This article aims to provide an …

Extremely high pressures (<? format?>∼<? format?> 10 TPa) and temperatures (5× 10 5 K)
have been produced using a single laser pulse (100 nJ, 800 nm, 200 fs) focused inside a …

We present here the experimental and theoretical studies of a single femtosecond laser
pulse interaction inside a bulk of transparent media (sapphire, glass, polymer). This …

Although mainstream grating writing, more often than not using single photon excitation of
germanosilicate based defects with CW 244 nm light, remains the key technology for …

Although femtosecond lasers have proved to be of great utility for micromachining within
bulk transparent materials, little is known about the fundamental physics that drive the …

By moving silica glass in a preprogrammed structure, we directly produced three-
dimensional holes with femtosecond laser pulses in single step. When distilled water was …

The fundamental issues on the smallest possible processing accuracy and the best feasible
surface smoothness in pinpoint polymerization-based laser fabrication were experimentally …
