WRITING WAVEGUIDE-LIKE STRUCTURES IN TRANSPARENT POLYCRYSTALLINE CERAMICS

摘要

The disclosure provides for writing or introducing waveguide-like structures in transparent polycrystalline ceramics using femtosecond laser pulses. The disclosure further provides for tuning the demarcation of the waveguide-like structures by varying the number of incident pulses per unit area.
