Ultrafast Laser Volume Nanostructuring of Transparent Materials: From Nanophotonics to Nanomechanics
The capability of ultrashort laser pulses to generate nonlinear absorption in the transparency window of dielectric materials is at the base of volume structuring. The result is a local change of the refractiv...

Nanoscale Sampling of Optical Signals: Application to High-Resolution Spectroscopy
Direct laser writing is a powerful technique for the development of photonic devices, namely, by allowing 3D structuring and generation of waveguides and other optical functions in bulk dielectrics by locally ...

Open AccessMultiscale electronic and thermomechanical dynamics in ultrafast nanoscale laser structuring of bulk fused silica
We describe the evolution of ultrafast-laser-excited bulk fused silica over the entire relaxation range in one-dimensional geometries fixed by non-diffractive beams. Irradiation drives local embedded modificat...
