Non-ablative femtosecond laser exposure of fused silica in the sub-50 fs regime (Conference Presentation)

Yves Bellouard, Erica Kathleen Block

In the non-ablative regime, femtosecond laser pulse duration is known to affect the nature of the modification induced in the microstructure of fused silica. It has been demonstrated than below 200 fs, two different regimes are found, one at low energy, le ...

Femtosecond laser assisted 3-dimensional freeform fabrication of metal microstructures in fused silica

Andreas Mortensen, Yves Bellouard, Raphaël Charvet, Fatmah Ebrahim, Cyril Dénéréaz

Femtosecond laser exposure of fused silica combined with chemical etching has opened up new opportunities for three-dimensional freeform processing of micro-structures that can form complex micro-devices of silica, integrating optical, mechanical and/or fl ...

Unraveling Brittle-Fracture Statistics from Intermittent Patterns Formed During Femtosecond Laser Exposure

Yves Bellouard, Max-Olivier Hongler, Christos Edouardos Athanasiou

Femtosecond-laser-written patterns at the surface of brittle materials may show at random times spontaneous alternations from regular to disordered structures and vice versa. Here, we show that these random transitions carry relevant statistical informatio ...

Controlling the stress in glass after laser exposure is of prime importance not only for photonics applications, but also for preserving the mechanical integrity of glass components in general. The sub-surface exposure of fused silica to femtosecond laser ...

Laser-assisted morphing of complex three dimensional objects

Yves Bellouard, Jakub Drs

Morphing commonly refers to the smooth transition from a specific shape into another one, in which the initial and final shapes can be significantly different. In this study, we show that the concept of morphing applied to laser micro-manufacturing offers ...

Investigation of the micro-mechanical properties of femtosecond laser-induced phases in amorphous silica

Yves Bellouard, Christos Edouardos Athanasiou

Femtosecond pulses used in the regime where self-organized patterns are found have two noticeable effects in amorphous silica's (a-SiO2) optical and chemical properties: The decrease of the material's refractive index as well as an enhanced etching selecti ...

Spie-Int Soc Optical Engineering2016

The use of femtosecond lasers to introduce controlled stress states has recently been demonstrated in silica glass. We use this technique, in combination with chemical etching, to generate and control stress-induced birefringence over a well-defined region ...

Progress on femtosecond laser-based system-materials: three-dimensional monolithic electrostatic micro-actuator for optomechanics

Yves Bellouard, Tao Yang

Femtosecond laser-dielectric interaction in a three-dimensional (3D) manner defines a capable platform for integrated 3D micro-devices fabricated out of a single piece of system-material. Here, we add a new function to femtosecond laser-based single monoli ...

Quantification of Bulk Densification in Fused Silica Induced by Femtosecond Laser Exposure in the Sub-50 fs Regime

Yves Bellouard

Using micro-cantilever deflection, we study laser-induced densification in bulk fused silica in the sub-50 fs, non-ablative regime. We estimate induced densification from deflection measurements, with a maximum value of 0.014%. ...

Formation of nanogratings in a porous glass immersed in water by femtosecond laser irradiation

Yves Bellouard, Min Huang, Ya Cheng

Irradiation of intense ultrafast laser pulses in glasses can lead to formation of nanogratings whose periods are significantly smaller than the incident irradiation wavelength. The mechanism of the exotic phenomenon is still under hot debate. Here, we acce ...
