Femtosecond laser direct writing is a powerful technique for fabricating micro‐nano devices
as it can modify the interior of transparent optical materials in a spatially selective manner …

Laser processing implies the generation of a material function defined by the shape and the
size of the induced structures, being a collective effect of topography, morphology, and …

The lossy nature of plasmonic wave due to absorption is shown to become an advantage for
scaling-up a large area surface nanotexturing of transparent dielectrics and semiconductors …

Periodic self-organization of matter beyond the diffraction limit is a puzzling phenomenon,
typical both for surface and bulk ultrashort laser processing. Here we compare the …

The capability to organize matter in spontaneous periodic patterns under the action of light is
critical in achieving laser structuring on sub-wavelength scales. Here, the phenomenon of …

Abstract 20 years ago, volume nanogratings were discovered in silica glass upon ultrafast
laser irradiation. Since then, these extraordinary self-organised and birefringent structures …

Inscribing functional micro-nano-structures in transparent dielectrics enables constructing all-
inorganic photonic devices with excellent integration, robustness, and durability, but remains …

This paper reports a technique to enhance the magnitude and high-temperature stability of
Rayleigh back-scattering signals in silica fibers for distributed sensing applications. With …

It is challenging to store the exponentially increasing amount of data in the information age.
The multiplexed optical data storage with merits of high data density (hundreds of …

The generation of periodical micro-nanostructures by laser-induced materials with ultrashort
pulses has been a research hotspot in recent years and has been used extensively in many …
