Nanoindentation studies on waveguides inscribed in chalcogenide glasses using ultrafast laser
Optical straight waveguides are inscribed in GeGaS and GeGaSSb glasses using a high repetition-rate sub-picosecond laser. The mechanical properties of the glasses in the inscribed regions, which have undergone photo induced changes, have been evaluated by using the nanoindentation technique. Results show that the hardness and elastic modulus of the photo-modified glasses are significantly lower...
متن کاملHighly efficient relief diffraction gratings inscribed on a chalcogenide bulk glass by a femtosecond laser
Direct laser writing has been already demonstrated for the fabrication of under surface “buried” 3D mid-IR waveguides in chalcogenide glasses by employing a large photo-induced refractive index change in the features formed in the path of the focused beam from a short pulse laser. In this paper, we report on direct laser writing of relief diffraction gratings with periods of 6, 14 and 24 μm int...
متن کاملStimulated Brillouin scattering amplification in centimeter-long directly written chalcogenide waveguides.
Stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) amplification is obtained in directly written As2S3 channel waveguides. Centimeter-long waveguides were written using a Ti:sapphire femtosecond laser, operating at a central wavelength of 810 nm. The cross-section of the waveguides was of 4 μm×1 μm. A Brillouin frequency shift of 7.5 GHz is observed, in general agreement with corresponding previous studie...
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 کاملPolarization-dependent spectral broadening of femtosecond pulses in silicon waveguides
We investigate the polarization dependence of the spectral broadening of femtosecond pulses inside silicon waveguides by using finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulations. Our FDTDmodel includes the anisotropic dependency of predominant nonlinear effects in silicon: Kerr effect, two-photon absorption, and Raman effect. In addition, free-carrier absorption and free-carrier dispersion effect...
