Numerical studies of dielectric material modifications by a femtosecond Bessel–Gauss laser beam
Femtosecond Bessel–Gauss beams are attractive tools to a large area of laser processes including high aspect ratio volume nanostructuration in dielectric materials. Understanding the dielectric material respon...

Thermo-elasto-plastic simulations of femtosecond laser-induced multiple-cavity in fused silica
The formation and the interaction of multiple cavities, induced by tightly focused femtosecond laser pulses, are studied using a developed numerical tool, including the thermo-elasto-plastic material response....

Control of material removal of fused silica with single pulses of few optical cycles to sub-picosecond duration
Surface ablation of a dielectric material (fused silica) by single femtosecond pulses is studied as a function of pulse duration (7–450 fs) and applied fluence (F th<F<10F ...

Particles formation in an expanding plasma
Interaction of a laser beam with a target generates a high velocity expanding plasma plume, solid debris and liquid nano- and microparticles. They are produced from plasma recombination and vapor condensation ...

Effect of pressure relaxation during the laser heating and electron–ion relaxation stages
The multi-phase equation of state by Bushman et al. (Sov. Tech. Rev. 5:1–44, 2008) is modified to describe states with different electron and ion temperatures and it is applied to the non-equilibrium evolution of...

Formation of nanocavities in dielectrics: influence of equation of state
Tight focusing of a sub-picosecond laser pulse in a transparent dielectric provides a mean for localized deposition and plasma formation. A micro-explosion in a confined geometry results in a sub-micron cavity...
