Femtosecond laser direct-write waveplates based on stress-induced birefringence
Ben McMillen, Christos Athanasiou, Yves Bellouard
The use of femtosecond lasers to introduce controlled stress states has recently been demonstrated in silica glass. We use this technique, in combination with chemical etching, to…

On the anisotropy of stress-distribution induced in glasses and crystals by non-ablative femtosecond laser exposure
Ben McMillen, Yves Bellouard
Femtosecond laser exposure in the non-ablative regime induces a variety of bulk structural modifications, in which anisotropy may depend on the polarization of the writing beam. In…
