Ultrafast laser direct writing (ULDW) is explored as a facile technique to induce
unprecedented physical phenomena and functional structures three dimensionally in glass …

Laser ablation of dielectrics by ultrashort laser pulses is reviewed. The basic interaction
between ultrashort light pulses and the dielectric material is described, and different …

The femtosecond laser direct‐writing (FLDW) of waveguide circuits in glasses has seen
interest from a number of fields over the previous 20 years. It has evolved from a curiosity to …

Since the discovery that tightly focused femtosecond laser pulses can induce a highly
localised and permanent refractive index modification in a large number of transparent …

The interaction of intense femtosecond laser pulses with transparent materials is a topic that
has caused great interest of scientists over the past two decades. It will continue to be a …

We present a novel method to fabricate low bend loss femtosecond-laser written
waveguides that exploits the differential thermal stabilities of laser induced refractive index …

We propose a strategy of temperature gradient assisted femtosecond laser writing for
elaboration of low loss waveguides (WGs) over a large depth in glass. The matter flow …

The mid-infrared wavelength regime 3.5–4.1 μm, known as the astronomical L'band is of
special interest for exoplanet hunting. Mid-IR compatible photonic technologies are an …

There is a deficiency of low-loss microstructured waveguides that can be fabricated with a
single laser-pass to minimize stress build-up, which can enable enhanced functionality and …

The effects of single femtosecond laser pulse irradiation (130 fs pulse duration, 800 nm
center wavelength) on the structure of binary lithium silicate glasses of varying chemical …
