With the growth of laser technologies in photonics, the volume phase elements fabrication in transparent material by ultrashort laser is widely attractive. Femtosecond laser writing (FLW) step was applied for the polarized-sensitive volume phase gratings (VPGs) inscription in the nanoporous silicate matrix (NPSM).The formed VPGs with thickness L = 54 ± 0.5 μm to 77 ± 0.5 μm, and shows the diffraction e ciency 8% and 14% respectively. VPG in NPSM presents the ability to detect polarization. Different polarization angles correspond to different diffraction e ciency from 2% to 14%. Moreover, owing to the porous character of the NPSM plate, diffraction e ciency of impregnated VPG with distilled water and rhodamine 6G acetone solution were investigated. The achieved results in our experiment provides evidence to the possibility of VPG as a sensor application.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
