Ripples are formed on the surface of solid materials after interaction with laser pulses of high
intensity/irradiance. When ultra-short sub-1 ps laser pulses are used, the observed …

This Review provides an exhaustive and detailed description of ion migration phenomena
which occur inside transparent dielectric media due to the interaction with intense ultrashort …

Femtosecond laser fabrication of three-dimensional structures for photonics applications is
reviewed. Fabrication of photonic crystal structures by direct laser writing and holographic …

We report on the nanovoid formation inside synthetic silica, viosil, by single femtosecond
pulses of 30–100 nJ energy, 800 nm wavelength, and 180 fs duration. It is demonstrated that …

Capabilities of the attenuated total reflection (ATR) at THz wavelengths for increased sub-
surface depth characterisation of (bio-) materials are presented. The penetration depth of a …

In this contribution, we present a comparative study on top-down drilling in sodalime glass,
with a femtosecond laser operating in single-pulse, MHz-burst and GHz-burst modes …

We overview recent developments of 3D±(additive/subtractive) manufacturing/printing from
the point of view of laser development, beam delivery tools, applications, and materials. The …

We propose a comprehensive analysis of the effects that spherical aberration may have on
the process of ultrafast laser photowriting in bulk transparent materials and discuss the …

We demonstrate a versatile method for fast and flexible fabrication of either one or an array
of microlenses. Multi-foci axial intensity distribution generated by a phase pattern displayed …

We demonstrate self-fabrication of a submicrometer-sized void array in fused silica using a
100 fs 0.2–3 μ J Ti: Sapphire femtosecond laser and a high 0.9 numerical aperture (NA) …
