Computer-generated volume holograms fabricated by femtosecond laser micromachining

We define computer-generated volume holograms (CGVHs) as arbitrary 3D refractive index modulations designed to perform optical functions based on diffraction, scattering, and interference phenomena. CGVHs can differ dramatically from classical volume holograms in terms of coding possibilities, and from thin computer-generated holograms in terms of efficiency and selectivity. We propose an encoding technique for designing such holograms and demonstrate the concept by scanning focused femtosecond laser pulses to produce localized refractive index modifications in glass. These CGVHs show a significant increase in efficiency with thickness. Consequently, they are attractive for photonic integration with free-space and guided-wave devices, as well as for encoding spatial and temporal information.

Embedded birefringent computer-generated holograms fabricated by femtosecond laser pulses

Birefringent computer-generated holograms are fabricated in bulk fused silica by tight focusing of infrared femtosecond laser pulses. The polarization properties of the elliptically polarized diffracted light are in excellent agreement with the theoretical model. We experimentally demonstrate that for such birefringent structures the signal-to-noise ratio increases by approximately 9 dB when polarization filtering is used to suppress the undiffracted beam.     

Second harmonic generation by femtosecond Yb-doped fiber laser source based on PPKTP waveguide fabricated by femtosecond laser direct writing

The frequency doubling of femtosecond pulses from an Yb-doped fiber laser source was demonstrated in a PPKTP waveguide fabricated by femtosecond laser direct writing. The PPKTP waveguide contains a fixed period of 8.9 μm and the feomtosecond fundamental pulses have a central wavelength of 1044 nm. A maximum SHG power of 406 mW was produced, yielding a conversion efficiency of 5.6%. Numerical simulations were carried out to investigate the property of frequency doubling for femtosecond pulses. The results show that the SHG process proceeds even the quasi-phase-matching (QPM) condition is not well satisfied, which is significantly different from that of “long” pulses or CW light and is accorded with the experimental results.

The fabricated structures have been investigated using scanning electron microscopy. A theoretical calculation of the photonic band structures of the direct yablonovite and the inverse yablonovite has been carried out.     

Periodic surface nanostructures on polycrystalline ZnO induced by femtosecond laser pulses

Periodic surface nanostructures induced by femtosecond laser pulses on polycrystalline ZnO are presented. By translating the sample line-by-line under appropriate irradiation conditions, grating-like nanostructures with an average period of 160 nm are fabricated. The dependence of surface morphologies on the processing parameters, such as laser fluence, pulse number and laser polarization, are studied by scanning electronic microscope (SEM). In addition, photoluminescence (PL) analysis at room-temperature indicates that the PL intensity of the irradiated area increases significantly compared with the un-irradiated area. Using femtosecond laser pulses irradiation to fabricate periodic surface nanostructures on polycrystalline ZnO is efficient, simple and low cost, which shows great potential applications in ZnO-based optoelectronic devices.     

T-shaped gate AlGaN/GaN HEMTs fabricated by femtosecond laser lithography without ablation

Femtosecond laser as a maskless lithography technique is able to fabricate structures far smaller than the diffraction limit to a value within sub-micrometer resolution. We present the femtosecond laser lithography without ablation on the positive photoresist is applied in fabricating T-shaped gate AlGaN/GaN HEMT. The feature sizes of femtosecond laser lithography were determined by the incident laser power, the scan speed of the laser focus, the number of scan times, and the substrate materials. T-shaped gate with the smallest gate length 204?nm could be fabricated by dielectric-defined process using femtosecond laser lithography. The fabricated AlGaN/GaN HEMT with 380?nm T-gate exhibits a maximum drain current density of 500?mA/mm and a maximum peak extrinsic transconductance of 173?mS/mm.     

Wavelength division with three-dimensional couplers fabricated by filamentation of femtosecond laser pulses

Refractive-index changes can be induced by filamentation of 800-nm, 1-kHz femtosecond laser pulses in silica glass. Two-dimensional translation of a 40-microm-long filament leads to the formation of a curved waveguide because of bending by the previously induced refractive-index change. The fabrication of 2-mm directional couplers to split the coupled beam into 1:1 at a wavelength of 632.8 nm is demonstrated. The realization of three-dimensional directional couplers and wavelength division in the output from the couplers is also demonstrated.     

Stable superhydrophobic surface with hierarchical mesh-porous structure fabricated by a femtosecond laser

Inspired by the lotus leaf, a new superhydrophobic surface with hierarchical mesh-porous structure is fabricated by femtosecond laser irradiation on silicon. The fabricated surface shows a superhydrophobic character with water contact angle being found to reach up to 158^°±1^° and sliding angle of 4^°±0.5^°. The superhydrophobicity is stable even if the PH of solution changes from 1 to 14. And the surface also exhibits excellent self-cleaning effect and bouncing behavior, implying that the adhesion of the surface is extremely low. This work will enhance further understanding of the wettability of a solid surface with special surface morphology.     

Controllable cascaded four-wave mixing by two chirped femtosecond laser pulses

We investigated the generation of cascaded four-wave mixing (CFWM) sidebands by using two crossing chirped femtosecond pulses with the same central wavelength in tellurite glass (Te glass). Sidebands of broadband spectra, which contained non-degenerate and degenerate CFWM signals, were obtained at different delay time between two input pulses. The CFWM sidebands observed on different sides of input beams were flexibly controlled by adjusting the delay time.

Microlens arrays of high-refractive-index glass fabricated by femtosecond laser lithography

Microlens arrays of high-refractive-index glass GeO₂-SiO₂ were fabricated by femtosecond laser lithography assisted micromachining. GeO₂-SiO₂ thin glass films, which were deposited by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition, have a refractive index of 1.4902 and exhibit high transparency at wavelengths longer than 320 nm. Using a femtosecond laser, three-dimensional patterns were written inside resists on GeO₂-SiO₂ films, and then the patterns were transferred to the underlying films by CHF₃ and O₂ plasma treatments. This combined process enabled us to obtain uniform microlens structures with a diameter of 38 μm. The heights of the transferred lenses were approximately one-quarter the height of the resist patterns, due to differences in the plasma etching rates between GeO₂-SiO₂ and the resist. The lens surfaces were smooth. When 632.8-nm-wavelength He-Ne laser light was normally coupled to the lenses, focal spots with a diameter of 3.0 μm were uniformly observed. The combined process was effective in fabricating three-dimensional surfaces of inorganic optical materials.
