The ever-increasing demand for high data storage capacity has spurred research on
development of innovative technologies and new storage materials. Conventional GByte …

We fabricated several microstructures, such as buried gratings, surface gratings, surface
microcraters, and microchannels, in bulk poly (methylmethacrylate)(PMMA) and poly …

Abstract A Cyclo Olefin Polymer (COP), Zeonex® glass exhibits advantage for applications
in photonics: high transparency from NIR to UVA, humidity insensitivity and refractive index …

We demonstrate formation of localized carbonaceous and siliconaceous clusters, confined
to the modified region on a micron scale, when PDMS (polydimethylsiloxane) is irradiated by …

We present here the luminescent properties of microstructures obtained through
femtosecond (fs) laser direct writing (LDW) in bulk, and thin films of polymers such as poly …

We have investigated femtosecond-laser-induced microstructures (on the surface and within
the bulk), gratings, and craters in four different polymers: polymethyl methacrylate …

We report ultrafast-laser-induced photochemical, structural, and morphological changes in a
polyimide film irradiated at the polymer-glass interface in back-incident geometry. Back …

Femtosecond laser direct writing in materials has been studied due to its advantages in
micro-processing. The discovery of polarization effect found in controlling the crystallization …

Optical digital information storage media, despite their ever-increasing storage capacity and
data transfer rate, are vulnerable to the potential risk of turning inaccessible. For this reason …

Laser direct writing technique is employed to fabricate microstructures, including gratings
(buried and surface) and two-dimensional photonic crystal-like structures, in bulk poly …
