Transparent glass ceramics (TGCs) with minimized scattering loss offer the combined
characteristics of both glasses and (transparent) ceramics. The functionalities of the …

Inscribing functional micro-nano-structures in transparent dielectrics enables constructing all-
inorganic photonic devices with excellent integration, robustness, and durability, but remains …

Crystallization of oxide glasses has a long history since the first proposal by Stookey in the
1950s, and nowadays various glass-ceramics (crystallized glasses) having potential for …

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 …

Raman imaging spectroscopy is a relatively new technique that has raised interest in
several areas of knowledge due to the possibility of evaluating the spatial distribution of …

There has been a great progress in the spatially selected patterning of crystals with a single
crystal-like architecture by continuous wave (CW) and femtosecond (fs) pulsed laser …

We report on a technique of femtosecond laser-induced crystallization of glass, allowing
improvement in the homogeneity of continuous crystalline tracks formed in lanthanum …

We demonstrate crystals (LiNbO3-like) that were space-selectively nucleated and grown in
the bulk of silica-based glass by femtosecond laser irradiation at a high repetition rate (typ …

Dots and lines consisting of LiNbO3 crystals are patterned on the surface of 1CuO–40Li2O–
32Nb2O5–28SiO2 (mole ratio) glass by irradiations of continuous-wave Nd: YAG laser …

The patterning of LiNbO3 crystals was carried out at the surface of NiO‐doped 40Li2O‐
32Nb2O5‐28SiO2 (LNS) glasses using continuous‐wave Yb: YVO4 fiber laser (wavelength …
