Abstract 20 years ago, volume nanogratings were discovered in silica glass upon ultrafast
laser irradiation. Since then, these extraordinary self-organised and birefringent structures …

Laser-induced crystallization in glasses is of great interest because of its significant
applications in optics. However, the mechanisms involved are not yet concluded, and this …

Femtosecond (fs) laser irradiation inside transparent materials has drawn considerable
interest over the past two decades. More specifically, self-assembled nanogratings, induced …

Nanogratings (NGs) are self-assembled subwavelength and birefringent nanostructures
created by femtosecond laser direct writing (FLDW) in glass, which are of high interest for …

Recently our work exhibited the influence of Zirconium oxide on the linear and non-linear
optical properties of Sodium silicate glass. The optical constants were computed by Kramer …

The thermal stability of self-assembled porous nanogratings inscribed by an infrared
femtosecond (fs) laser in five commercial glasses (BK7, soda lime, 7059, AF32, and Eagle …

We have found that a single sub-microsecond burst of femtosecond laser pulses produces a
sub-micrometer cavity possessing the homogeneous birefringence with slow-axis …

We investigate the potential of fabricating thermally stable refractive index contrasts using
femtosecond (fs) near‐infrared (IR) radiation in aluminosilicate glasses. A set of pure SiO2 …

Nanogratings are self-organized and sub-wavelength birefringent structures that are formed
upon the action of high intensity ultrashort light pulses in the bulk of a transparent material …

Numerous studies on the effect of the femtosecond laser pulses in oxide glasses have been
achieved over the last two decades, and several specific effects pointed out. Some of them …
