Integrated photonics is attracting considerable attention and has found many applications in
both classical and quantum optics, fulfilling the requirements for the ever-growing complexity …

The unique characteristics of ultrafast lasers, such as picosecond and femtosecond lasers,
have opened up new avenues in materials processing that employ ultrashort pulse widths …

Since the discovery that tightly focused femtosecond laser pulses can induce a highly
localised and permanent refractive index modification in a large number of transparent …

An overview of recent achievements in the field of femtosecond laser writing in transparent
materials is presented. Thanks to the unique properties of light–matter interaction on the …

The spectral dispersion of ultrashort pulses allows the simultaneous focusing of light in both
space and time, which creates so-called spatiotemporal foci. Such space–time coupling may …

Femtosecond lasers have revolutionized the processing of materials, since their ultrashort
pulse width and extremely high peak intensity allows high-quality micro-and nanofabrication …

To improve the processing efficiency and extend the tuning range of 3D isotropic fabrication,
we apply the simultaneous spatiotemporal focusing (SSTF) technique to a high-repetition …

Laser-induced damage of compression gratings has become the shortest stave for petawatt
(PW) laser facilities, as it is hard to manufacture large enough meter-sized gratings with high …

We analyze the structure of space-time focusing of spatially-chirped pulses using a
technique where each frequency component of the beam follows its own Gaussian beamlet …

We report on experimental examination of two-photon fluorescence excitation (TPFE) at the
focus of a spatially chirped femtosecond laser beam, which reveals an unexpected tilted …
