Inscribing functional micro-nano-structures in transparent dielectrics enables constructing all-
inorganic photonic devices with excellent integration, robustness, and durability, but remains …

There has been a great progress in the spatially selected patterning of crystals with a single
crystal-like architecture by continuous wave (CW) and femtosecond (fs) pulsed laser …

Laser-induced crystallization in glasses is of great interest because of its significant
applications in optics. However, the mechanisms involved are not yet concluded, and this …

A brief review of laser-induced material modification in glassy materials is presented. The
mechanisms of energy transfer from the laser and the subsequent structural modifications …

A carefully controlled femtosecond laser irradiation offers the possibility of fabricating high
quality, 3D functional single-crystal patterns designed for integrated optical devices deep …

We report on a technique of femtosecond laser-induced crystallization of glass, allowing
improvement in the homogeneity of continuous crystalline tracks formed in lanthanum …

This review focuses on the radiation-induced changes in germanate and tellurite glasses.
These glasses have been of great interest due to their remarkable potential for photonics, in …

Glass ceramics may exhibit enhanced functionalities compared to the glass and crystal
counterparts due to the synergistic effect with the “1+ 1> 2” feature in a cooperative manner …

Glass-ceramics are innovative technological materials made up of crystals dispersed in a
glass matrix. This dual feature enables the combination of the advantages of glass, mostly …

We demonstrate crystals (LiNbO3-like) that were space-selectively nucleated and grown in
the bulk of silica-based glass by femtosecond laser irradiation at a high repetition rate (typ …
