Nonlinear absorption of femtosecond-laser pulses enables the induction of structural changes in the interior of bulk transparent materials without affecting their surface. This property can be exploited for transmission welding of transparent dielectrics, three dimensional optical data storages, and waveguides. In the present study, femtosecond-laser pulses were tightly focused within the interior of bulk fused silica specimen. Localized plasma was formed, initiating rearrangement of the network structure. Features were generated through employment of single pulses as well as pulse trains using various processing conditions. The change in material properties were studied through employment of differential interference contrast optical microscopy and atomic force microscopy. The morphology of the altered material as well as the nature of the physical mechanisms (thermal, explosive plasma expansion, or in-between) responsible for the alteration of material properties as a function of process parameters is discussed.

Non-linear absorption of femtosecond laser pulses enables the induction of structural changes in the interior of bulk transparent materials without affecting their surface. This property can be exploited for the transmission welding of transparent dielectrics, three dimensional optical data storages and waveguides. In the present study, femtosecond laser pulses were tightly focused within the interior of bulk fused silica specimen. Localized plasma was formed, initiating rearrangement of the network structure. The change in material properties were studied through employment of spatially resolved Raman spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy and optical microscopy. The nature of the physical mechanisms responsible for the alteration of material properties as a function of process parameters is discussed.

Abstract High power supercontinuum (SC) is generated by focusing 800 nm and 400 nm femtosecond laser pulses in fused silica with a microlens array. It is found that the spectrum of the SC is getting broader compared with the case of single laser pulse, and the spectral energy density between the two fundamental laser wavelengths is getting significantly higher by optimizing the phase matching angle of the BBO. It exceeds μJ/nm over 490 nm range which is from 380 nm to 870 nm, overcoming the disadvantage of relative lower power in the ranges far from fundamental wavelength.
