Femtosecond laser micromachining has emerged in recent years as a new technique for
micro/nano structure fabrication because of its applicability to virtually all kinds of materials …

Diffraction gratings were discovered during the 18th century, and they are now widely used
in spectrometry analysis, with outstanding achievements spanning from the probing of single …

In the 2015 review paper 'Petawatt Class Lasers Worldwide'a comprehensive overview of
the current status of high-power facilities of was presented. This was largely based on facility …

Nanomaterials with broadband nonlinear responses have attracted wide attention in
ultrafast photonics, which have proven to be reliable saturable absorbers to generate …

Laser Processing and Chemistry gives an overview of the fundamentals and applications of
laser-matter interactions, in particular with regard to laser material processing. Special …

Ablation of metal targets by Ti: sapphire laser radiation is studied. The ablation depth per
pulse is measured for laser pulse durations between 150 fs and 30 ps and fluences ranging …

The mechanism of ablation of solids by intense femtosecond laser pulses is described in an
explicit analytical form. It is shown that at high intensities when the ionization of the target …

We present a novel method for three-dimensional optical data storage that has
submicrometer size resolution, provides a large contrast in index of refraction, and is …

Laser-induced breakdown and damage to transparent materials has remained an active
area of research for four decades. In this paper we review the basic mechanisms that lead to …

We report measurements of the optical breakdown threshold and ablation depth in
dielectrics with different band gaps for laser pulse durations ranging from 5 ps to 5 fs at a …
