Open AccessIn-volume structuring of silicon using picosecond laser pulses
We have demonstrated for the first time the permanent local modification of the bulk of silicon by repeated illumination with infrared (1.55 μm) picosecond pulses. Furthermore, we evaluated the characteristics...

Open AccessSelective laser melting of hypereutectic Al-Si40-powder using ultra-short laser pulses
We investigate the use of ultra-short laser pulses for the selective melting of Al-Si40-powder to fabricate complex light-weight structures with wall sizes below \(100\,\upmu \text {m}\) 100μm combined with high...

Thermal effects vs. gain in femtosecond laser written waveguides in neodymium doped fused silica
The influence of thermal effects in gain measurements of fs laser-written waveguides in actively doped glass is reported for the first time. We show that these effects strongly contribute to the signal enhance...
