摘要: We report on the ultrashort pulse laser induced formation of birefringent structures in volume different glasses: Borofloat 33, BK7 and ULE™. Using polarization contrast scanning electron microscopy we could prove that this birefringence is by nanogratings. were able to identify duration as a crucial process parameter for generation nanogratings these glasses. The achieved ULE comparable fused silica, while borosilicate glasses show much less (only about 12%). Remarkably, period also dependent type glass, being 250 nm only 60 case 33.
