Three-Dimensional Micro- and Nano-Fabrication in Transparent Materials by Femtosecond Laser

“…In the past several years, many research efforts have been devoted to the field of 3D microscopic modifications to transparent materials by using femtosecond lasers. Promising applications have been demonstrated for the formation of 3D optical memory 6,[14][15][16] and multicolor images, 17) and the fabrication of optical waveguides, 5,18) couplers 7,19) and photonic crystals. 20) In the latest an applied research, Hosono et al fabricated fine-pitched micrograting structures in an amorphous SiO 2 thin film with a single femtosecond laser pulse, 21) and demonstrated that simultaneous formation of a color center and waveguide with femtosecond laser-induced microgratings produced an oscillating DFB color laser inside a LiF crystal by the femtosecond laser pulses interference technique.…”

Ultraviolet-radiation-induced structure and long-lasting phosphorescence in Sn2þ—Cu2þco-doped silicate glass

“…Many researchers try to install certain defects into crystalline and glass materials to control the decay time of long-lasting phosphorescence. Numerous practical materials have been developed, which an emission is strong enough to be observed by naked eyes for a time period exceeding 8 h. So far, long-lasting phosphorescence phenomena have been observed in rareearth ions doped polycrystalline [7,8] and glasses which were prepared under strong reduction environment [9 -11] or were treated by an infrared femtosecond laser [12,13]. In this paper we report that a long-lasting phosphorescence phenomenon was observed in a Sn 2þ -Cu 2þ co-doped silicate glass without any special treatment.…”

Luminescence properties of reduced SrO–Al2O3–GeO2 glasses

“…Defects controlling and mechanical properties improvement in alloys can be realized by adjusting the parameters during the semi-solid metal (SSM) forming processes [7]. External electromagnetic fields induced defects-related photostimulated luminescence and long-lasting phosphorescence glasses have potential applications for X-ray sensors, optical memory and optical displays [8][9][10][11]. In the past, the defects are mostly induced by external electromagnetic fields, e.g.…”
