Femtosecond laser micromachining can be used either to remove materials or to change a
material's properties, and can be applied to both absorptive and transparent substances …

High-repetition rate femtosecond lasers are shown to drive heat accumulation processes
that are attractive for rapid writing of low-loss optical waveguides in transparent glasses. A …

This paper provides an overview of the rather new field concerning the applications of
femtosecond laser microstructuring of glass to optofluidics. Femtosecond lasers have …

In this paper we review the micromachining of photonic devices in several materials by
means of ultrashort laser pulses. The physical mechanisms underlying the refractive index …

A variable (0.2 to 5 MHz) repetition rate femtosecond laser was applied to delineate the role
of thermal diffusion and heat accumulation effects in forming low-loss optical waveguides in …

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 …
