Direct laser written multimode waveguides for astronomical applications
In this publication we present the results of a detailed study into directly written multimode waveguides for astronomical applications. We show that waveguides up to 100 μm across can be inscribed with the cumulative heating form of this technique. The waveguides have 2 concentric guiding regions which are elliptical; a core that has an average ellipticity of 1.1±0.1 and an outer cladding with...
متن کاملFemtosecond laser written low-loss single-mode waveguides in PMMA
Ultrafast laser inscription is a standard technique to fabricate embedded waveguides in glasses or crystals. Tightly focused femtosecond laser-pulses induce an increase in refractive index inside the material via non-linear absorption. By moving the sample through the focus virtually arbitrary threedimensional paths can be created. The transfer of this technique to polymers has already delivere...
متن کاملCharacterization of Femtosecond Laser Written Waveguides for Integrated Biochemical Sensing
Fluorescence detection is known to be one of the most sensitive among the different optical sensing techniques. This work focuses on excitation and detection of fluorescence emitted by DNA strands labeled with fluorescent dye molecules that can be excited at a specific wavelength. Excitation occurs via optical channel waveguides written with femtosecond laser pulses applied coplanar with a micr...
متن کاملAdaptive slit beam shaping for direct laser written waveguides.
We demonstrate an improved method for fabricating optical waveguides in bulk materials by means of femtosecond laser writing. We use an LC spatial light modulator (SLM) to shape the beam focus by generating adaptive slit illumination in the pupil of the objective lens. A diffraction grating is applied in a strip across the SLM to simulate a slit, with the first diffracted order mapped onto the ...
متن کاملQuasi-phase matched second-harmonic generation through thermal poling in femtosecond laser-written glass waveguides.
Quasi-phase matched second-harmonic generation at 532 nm is demonstrated in a channel waveguide that is written in bulk fused silica using a femtosecond laser. The second-order nonlinear grating is fabricated using uniform thermal poling followed by periodic erasure inside an e-beam deposition system caused, by what we believe to be, x-rays. A SHG conversion efficiency of 2 x10(-5) %/W-cm(2) wa...
