Fused silica (a-SiO2) exposure to low-energy femtosecond laser pulses leads to interesting effects such as a local increase of etching rate and/or a local increase of refractive index. Up to now the exact modifications occurring in the glass matrix after e ...
In this chapter, the use of femtosecond laser to fabricate glass-based microsystems and sensors is examined. Several advanced technology demonstrators are presented, including some very unusual fused silica MEMS. Present technological barriers are discusse ...
This paper reports on the mechanical properties of fused silica flexures manufactured by a two-step process combining femtosecond lasers exposure below the ablation threshold and chemical etching. Flexural strengths as high as 2.7 GPa were measured, demons ...
Femtosecond pulses focused in glass substrate induces various modifications in the material depending on the fluence level and laser exposure conditions. Upon increasing pulse energies above the energy threshold for non-linear absorption, femtosecond laser ...
Fused silica (a-SiO 2) exposure to low-energy femtosecond laser pulses (below ablation threshold) introduces a local increase of the HF etching rate. This property has been used to fabricate a variety of structures ranging from simple fluidic channels to m ...
Recently, new types of silica polarization converters fabricated by femtosecond lasers have been introduced. These devices use spatially arranged nanogratings found under certain femtosecond laser exposure conditions in fused silica to create arbitrary pol ...
The Femtoprint project uses femtosecond lasers to develop a printer for micro-/nano- scale systems. Femtoprint provides a large community of users with the capability of producing their own micro-systems, in a rapid-manner without the need for expensive in ...
The aim of this project is to study the use of pulsed infrared laser light to stimulate the central auditory system. This novel approach may be a means to improve the efficacy of the current generation of electrically based Auditory Brainstem Implants (ABI ...
Recently, it was demonstrated that femtosecond lasers pulses with energies below the ablation threshold locally enhance the etching rate of fused silica: regions that are exposed to the laser beam are etched faster. This remarkable property has been used f ...
We show the first results of a linear 100-micromirror array capable of modulating the phase and amplitude of the spectral components of femtosecond lasers. Using MEMS-based reflective systems has the advantage of utilizing coatings tailored to the laser wa ...
